Comments on: The Liar’s Club – Review http://thenovelworld.com/2008/05/03/the-liars-club-review/ A Life Well Read Sat, 11 Feb 2012 00:46:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: The House Bitch http://thenovelworld.com/2008/05/03/the-liars-club-review/#comment-2162 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:07:47 +0000 http://anovelworld.wordpress.com/?p=87#comment-2162 I agree that this is one that takes some dedication to get through, but I’m so glad I finished it. I too felt like there was too much information, too much detail in some of her stories and that she was too vague, too cryptic in others. For awhile, I couldn’t put my finger on it. I thought maybe the font was too small, the spacing too tight. I just felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere. Maybe because it’s a memoir, it has less of a clearcut arc in the story? I don’t know. But I also felt it move along once I hit Colorado and ended up glad that I had stuck it out. Mary Karr’s voice is raw, amusing, captivating. She really is funny. I wasn’t in love, but I liked it well enough that I’ll definitely pick up both Cherry and Lit.

I love your reviews. Now I just have to make sure I don’t point the car in the direction of the library or bookstore today – I have so much else to do!
