The descriptions (particularly of people) were so overblown that I couldn't really visualize that she was saying. There was no room to imagine, and it was more a question of assemblage. But then I got used to her style, and taken in by her story-telling. The book was so long, but then I was disappointed when it was finished. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it too.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13169971552802919035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10756744.post-13696769134218364482007-01-09T22:45:00.000-05:002007-01-09T22:45:00.000-05:00I'm glad to see a positive review of this book tha...I'm glad to see a positive review of this book that comes from outside NYC. I just couldn't believe the hype about this book, so much warns against it. Well-off twenty-somethings, each of a certain type, feeling lost in the big city - it just had alarm bells all over it. Those of us in the US that live somewhere other than The City get sick of New York, too. So I was glad to hear, at least, that your U.S. book was enjoyable for the most part. Maybe one day I'll give it a chance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10756744.post-86114248668166270022007-01-09T18:34:00.000-05:002007-01-09T18:34:00.000-05:00I like the sound of this book despite your reserva...I like the sound of this book despite your reservations.
