Title: a classic!
Review: There are many books that readers enjoy, but few that leave the reader certain it will become a "classic"...one still available and talked about in years to come not only of its subject, but the writer's gift of prose.White Oleander is amazing enough to leave you with that thought.It is written with keen insight and character development. It is realistic without being trite--in fact, the writer makes some uncanny subjects seem deeply real by her descriptive ability and insight into character and plot development, often with quite a large dose of humor. I realized the book's impact when I began recommending it to my large circle of friends only to find most of them had already read it--even the "non-readers" in the group! Which, once again, is the characteristic of a true classic.A must read...if you read only one book this year.
