review 1: Precious is a very psychotic book. The author has taken a town of deeply disturbed characters and weaved them into a dark plot. Each of the characters bear immensely flawed personalities and they prey on one another like vultures. I would have to say the most disturbing character is Sissy. She is the instigator of the whole house of cards falling in, yet she goes happily on her way with her Pollyanna attitude. Sick!
review 2: I really struggled with this book, alternately enjoying it and wanting to smack the female characters around - they were sooo long-suffering and oppressed. The mother leaves for no good reason other than she is bored - nothing the author wrote could convince me of anything else. The friend of the youngest daughter disappears and is never ... morefound. The oldest daughter is having an affair with a teacher that ends badly. I think readers are supposed to feel and see a parallel between the child who goes missing and the teenage daughter who leaves the family and is never heard of again but I just didn't feel it. The book left me feeling grouchy. less
