review 1: A strange, strange tale. Another one where I loved the title and idea of the book (I've got to stop picking books this way) but where everything else fell flat. A friend gave me this one and I wanted to like it but I just never felt it for Leah, never could bring myself to like her. Also, a warning to the squeamish and delicate: there is one chapter in there that I wish I had never read - very disturbing stuff. Overall, just another novel with unlikeable characters and very little plot.
review 2: I feel like I didn't get what this book was supposed to be about. When I finished the last page, I checked to see if maybe some pages had been torn out because the end wasn't an end. So then I thought that maybe there was a second book, but no. Too many personal pr
... moreonouns are used and it's often unclear who the author is referring to. This book would've received 3 stars if it at least had a point or a decent ending. I wouldn't recommend this book to a friend, but if you're feeling up to it and want to try and fill me in on it's point, give it a shot! It's short at least. less

One of my favorite collections of the last few years. "Jazz" is outstanding.

Sharp and well-seen stories with a lot of heart.
