My Never Ending List
My Never Ending List rated it 5 years ago
I don’t understand all the hype about this book. Eve reminded me of no one special, just a typical middle-aged woman who is coming to terms with her own life. Her son, Brendan is headed off to college where he feels life will be like those comedy videos he must have watched while a teen. In reality,...

I really enjoyed this book. The main character, Eve, is almost exactly the age I was when I read it, and I found much in her character that I could relate to. I liked how the book opened with Eve observing that big days never go the way you hope they will, and then the reader watches as each charact...

This book deals with a lot of feelings about sexuality and age. It shows how anyone at different points in their lives can be trying to find themselves. Life changes. People change.

Before becoming aware of this book, I checked out the DVD of the first season of the HBO TV adaptation. While I found the premise intriguing, for some reason, I just couldn't get into it, and I ended up bailing after a couple-few episodes. But I was still intrigued enough that when I came across t...

Well this was a total disappointment. Tom Perotta is an author that I have heard good things about, but this was really disappointing. First off the main character, Dave is a total bore. He should have been a minor character and Buzzy should have been the focus. Buzzy was one of two characters w...

Started off interesting, but then just dragged on going nowhere fast. I was disappointed.
