This book had me from the very first line and it did not let me go until the very end. Mathilda is such an engaging character and the "voice" of her narration throughout the book is mesmerizing. I have already recommended this book to a few people and I will continue to do so. It was funny and heartbreaking all at once.
Entertaining and somewhat education in parts, Kjerstin goes on a journey to discover herself by not looking in the mirror. It come across as part memoir, part research paper. An entertaining read, but I can't help but wish it delved further into the project.
Losing Clementine is about an artist who decides she is going to kill herself in 30 days. The subject, in the hand of another writer, could have been heavy and sappy, but Ashley Ream concocted a story that made me laugh out loud on more than one occasion, and cry only once. Clementine is a wonderfully written character and taking the 30 day journey with her was a truly satisfying reading experience. Highly recommended.
This is the book I always say when people ask me what my favorite book is. I read it and when I finished it, I immediately read it again. I love Daniel Handler's way with words as Lemony Snickett and he is just as fun here.
