Summary: 4 Stars
Miranda July follows her intelligent writings of past, to include an award-winning film, with this unique, touching collection of honest and painful stories of love and life. Highly recommended for the short-story collector.Book Review: I was going to give it a higher rating because I sort of felt sorry for her
Summary: 3 Stars
but then I came here and saw that she had all these five star ratings and awards. Every once and awhile she says things that are absolutely mindblowingly funny and I did find the characters easy to relate to, although I see others didn't. The depressingness didn't bother me either. What bothered me was the lack of structure and story telling ability. She is really good at witty observation and convincing representations of unusual characters, but not good at drawing the reader in for the sake of story. The stories just sort of wander on then drift off, It doesn't have that "can't put it down" quality, but I am a plot addict (what's going to happen next?) so if you're not you might like itBook Review: a little too odd for me
Summary: 3 Stars
I didn't exactly dislike this book, but I didn't love it either. I think Miranda July is just a little too weird for me. I loved "Me and You and Everyone We Know", I thought it was brilliant. But these stories just did not resonate with me. As I read each one, I just felt like they seemed a little forced...almost too quirky. I wasn't in any way offended by them, I just didn't see the appeal. I think they're trying too hard to be hip and now.Book Review: Eh
Summary: 3 Stars
I think at times she tries too hard to be edgy or odd, but overall an entertaining book. The last story was the best.
(Also, beware that the book comes in four different colors, and if you order from Amazon you don't get to choose which you receive. The picture showed me I was getting yellow, but pink showed up. Yuck.)
