review 1: Patently terrible. Two stories mashed together that had no real connection. Neither story was believable. Most of the characters were so wholly villainous as to be laughable. A couple seemed to change personality partway through, to the point where I scrolled back a ways to make sure I was thinking of the right person and that the name hadn't somehow gotten changed in editing.Speaking of editing--there were a few dozen instances of misspellings, incorrect word usage, and punctuation errors. And for the love of cheese, it's Pepto BISMOL, not BISMAL.
review 2: Finding Out is witty, gritty and fun chick lit novel mixed with a compelling and engrossing fiction novel. I can honestly say that I have not read a book of this mix before and I LOVED it. There are so man... morey thing that I loved about it so I am just going to list them.1. The amazing characters. There is a character to love, one to cheer for, one you want to become friends with and so many more. I just loved Ruth and was so enthralled by her history and resilience I think that anyone that is struggling can learn a lot from her. That no matter how bad it is, it could be SO much worse. She gave Shelia (the protagonist) so much loving and caring advise in such a subtle and knowledgeable way. I just wanted to be in Ruth house eating lunch and talking. Here is some of Ruth's wonderful wisdom:"....But I do know if you keep living for other people, you'll never find out. (p. 241, MacMunn). This is Ruth's advise to Sheila regarding the direction Sheila's life should go. For some reason it really stuck a chord with me. Also:'The miracle will happen when you start moving toward it. It won't just be laid at your feet, Shelia. You have to work for it one step at a time. And steps don't even have to be perfect. You just have to take the action and learn from it. You do that and one day you'll realize you're in the middle of your miracle," Ruth said. (p. 283, MacMunn) . Isn't she a gem!!!Well besides Ruth, here are some other noteworthy points about Finding Out....2. The novel was written amazingly. 3. The novel has a simple yet PERFECT cover.4. We can hope that MacMunn has more brilliant stories to share with the world.5. It is a MUST read and a great book club pick. 6. After writing this review I realize I need to change my 4 star review to a 5 star!!!!7. Read this book! less
