review 1: It's incredibly difficult to feel too much in this world and writing so brilliantly and sometimes annoyingly, Mary wrote with rawness that might just connect with anyone who has struggled. Her beautiful frankness and moments of insight are true gems. Ahhh, to be stuck in one's mind for too long. It is what it is. I will rate this as a confessional journal and not a story or novel. Note: This three month journal may prove to be monotonous for some. For instance, I'm happy to be moving onto a novel.
review 2: Wow. Mary Maclane has some issues. I'm sometimes accused of being overy dramatic and/or exaggerating, but I've got nothing up on Mary (maybe I'm a genius, too! Har) From the ecstacy of eating a green olive to the utter hopelessness and despair of 6 too... morethbrushes on a shelf, Mary gives us the "portrayal" of her sad and lonely existence. Her solution to her unhappiness is to long for the devil, whom she wishes to spend three days with. Either that, or Napolean Bonaparte, who is strong and whom she also is in love with. HA! So ridiculous I laughed out loud. I don't doubt that Mary DID feel all of these things and that she DID feel them intensely. But I also get the feeling that she knows how ridiculous it all sounds and she knows she will make us laugh. So Bravo Mary, we are reading your portrayal over 100 years after you wrote it. I hope that you found love and happiness, even for a day. less
