Negative Positive
Title: Poetic, Profound, Rich and Lingering
Review: I'm not one who would ususally write a review, but this book has had such a profound impact on me that I feel compelled to discuss its merits. I found myself underlining sentences that were so poetic they were like a delicous meal that I would have to sit back and digest before continuing on. Astrid's personal reflection of her journey was so real to me that I feel as if I learned and grew right along with her. My enjoyment of this book was such that now that I have finished reading it, I miss Astrid. Although not a "happy" story, it is a story of overcoming obstacles, learning to cope with the struggles of life and defining one's identity. Janet Fitch's writing got inside me and I could not put the book down.
Is the review positive or negative?
