I was really fortunate to win my signed copy of debut novel The Weird Sisters on Twitter. Following Rose, Bean and Cordy on their journey to find themselves has certainly added depth to my week!Starting with each sister in their different locations we get to find out the secrets they are holding clo...
I went to a small liberal arts college in a small town in Iowa and I enjoyed the beginning of this book and the family ideals and I could definitely understand the exclusivity of the family vs. the town. However, I thought Brown took characters that could be subtly different and interestingly uniqu...
I enjoyed this look at the relationships between adult sisters and their parents. Lots of Shakespearean references were fun. Sort of a second coming-of-age book. The first-person plural threw me off a bit.
3.5 stars. I was not totally in love with this book but I loved the story behind the book. I found myself putting this book down and being able to walk away from this book so it was not a book that kept me engaged. The author had quite a few flashbacks in the book and most of the time you were trans...
I'd go more towards 3.5 stars if goodreads allowed 1/2 stars.This book is about three sisters, the Weird sisters, who were raised in a bookish family with a father who idolizes (and teaches) Shakespeare. The sisters all have very different personalities - Cordy, the youngest, is a flighty and fun lo...
I absolutely loved this book. I'm a big fan of Shakespeare and the little blurbs of old Billy spread throughout the book at just the appropriate time made me smile with satisfaction. The way Eleanor Brown weaves a story of sisters so different yet inherently the same makes this a definite favorite. ...
I really thought I would love this book. It had a lot of good reviews, it was set in the world of academia, and had characters who loved to read. What more could I ask for? I started this book in the beginning of May and it took me a whole month just to complete it. There was nothing that kept m...
3 1/2 stars Audiobook versionThis is a story of 3 sisters who find themselves in the same house again after their mother is diagnosed with breast cancer. They are all named after Shakespeare heroines and the book is littered with quotes from The Bard, often quoted by their father and themselves. I...
Maybe I just didn't really get it because I didn't like Shakespeare...I did like the 3 sisters - Rose, Bean and Cordy. And I didn't mind the first-person plural way it was written (although slightly distracting at first, I couldn't figure out which one was talking until I realized they ALL were). ...
Skillfully crafted but no spark, no heart. The author mathematically avoids saying anything (2/3 sisters need to come home, 1/3 sisters needs to leave, 2/3 sisters need men, 1/3 needs to stop relying on men, ect). The result is a book that is an A+ exercise in setting up problems based on well-def...
