review 1: Wow, this one was creepy! Maureen never quite gets out from under her abusive husband's spell. She's really wishy-washy and I had a hard time relating to her as the abuse brought on by her husband bordered on the absurd. So did the demon GPS. She had many chances to take control of the situation and chose to remain passive and sometimes a bit clueless. However, the creepiness of the story kept me reading until the end. A good story for this time of year, but not the best of Jennifer Weiner.
review 2: first of all, i REALLY hated reading this on my phone kindle thing. my eyes were going nuts. maybe i needed to adjust the brightness or something, but i had to hold the phone a mile away and squint to see the words. it was awful. that said, i'm not sure this coun... morets toward my fiftyfifty goal because it was a short story, but as i see myself reading greater than 50 books at my current pace, i will include it anyway. Recalculating is a short story that Jennifer Weiner released only on eBook format, hence my earlier complaints. i didn't know it was going to be quite as short as it was. i thought it was good, but i wasn't spectacularly impressed. i love Weiner's writing style and her characters are typically likable, but this time i felt like i was left wanting more. the writing style was great as usual, but Maureen was not exceedingly likable and the premise was more than a little unbelievable. i am a pro at suspending disbelief, but in this case i had a little bit of a hard time.overall i just wasn't that impressed with the story. and, as a side note, when all books go electronic and i have to deal with reading on a screen i will give up reading all together and be the saddest woman in the world. less
