review 1: I picked this because of the cover. I liked the idea for the story and most of the characters, especially Butner and Hen, but I found the author's writing a bit confusing in places. I found myself reading parts again, not because I loved the beauty of the language but because I'd gotten lost in the action. For instance, several times I thought, "Wait, how did they get here? Weren't they just (in the kitchen or in the yard) a second ago?" Overall, it wasn't bad. It was just a different way of constructing sentences and writing than I'm used to reading.
review 2: It was a great wild wacky and weird read. Just the kind of off center book that has you wondering what is happening with the characters still. This is Just Exactly Like You is a great debut novel from
... morethe man's view of wonder when a marriage starts falling apart. Jack Lang does not understand why his wife is gone. Or how she can not see how life is never going to be all pat and nice. But that instead the house will be unfinished, the marriage will not always work and their son will never be like everyone else. He is sitting at home with their autistic son, looking at the house across the street. The house he bought. Thinking of how his wife is living across town with his best friend. And not quite getting the whole picture into focus. I think you might just want to read this one yourself. Figure out if life is smooth or do we all have these internal conversations that no one else should ever hear? less
