But I've been a little suspicious of the absolutely glowing praise. I'll take it with a grain of salt.Gilion at Rose City Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18080293172467000794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1246220242273461143.post-86271167801399945022010-08-16T02:00:58.126+01:002010-08-16T02:00:58.126+01:00I have heard a lot of good things about this book,...I have heard a lot of good things about this book, but others have also mentioned that it's a little flat. I do have a copy, but have not yet read it. I am going to have to keep your comments in mind when I do finally get to it. I really enjoyed reading your review on this, you were very clear and insightful.

I really enjoyed the stories about Olive (like you, I genuinely liked her as a character), but I found myself bored in some of the others, particularly near the end. I'm not upset it won the Pulitzer because I do think it's an important and unique contribution to the literary canon, but it's not a book I recommend to people. I am, however, looking forward to the film version starring Frances McDormand. I'm curious to see if it uses all the stories or just the Olive ones!nomadreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795144320842413060noreply@blogger.com
