Book Reviews of Paint It Black: A Novel
Book Review: Depression. Suicide. Grief.
Summary: 5 Stars
And finally redemption. Janet Fitch touches on all of these with the skilled hands of a master storyteller. Her prose is achingly beautiful. Josie Tyrell is a poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks who falls in love with Michael Faraday, a young man who grew up in privilege but yet is not any happier in life than she is. This is a must read for any thinking person who cherishes the delicate nuances of life. I loved this book so much that I immediately reread it upon finishing it because I wanted to highlight all the profound passages.Book Review: Only A Paper Moon
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow what a book! Fitch has out done herself again! Once I started the book, I couldn't put it down! I read the whole thing from 5pm to 10:30pm. The only other time that I have read a book in that style was when Harry Potter 4 1st came out. Only with Paint It Black, the drive to read it boarders on being an adiction that is harder than hearon to break! So buy a copy, sit on your sofa & 'shoot-up' Fitch's new book Paint It Black. The story is fiction but feels like a true life memoir. But don't you fear, "it's only a paper moon".Book Review: First time reader of Janet Fitch and I am a new fan!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my first book by Janet Fitch and I am a new fan. The book sucked me in from chapter one and continued through chapter 36. I'm not going to do a lay-out of the book, others have done that for me, but I will say this book was awesome! I fell in love with Josie and her life, even though it was a bit screwed up. This book is a must read! I was very sad to see it end, but as they say...All good things must come to an end! I can not wait to read her next novel...I hope I do not have to wait long!!!!Book Review: Masterful
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to hand it to Ms. Fitch. She sure can write. It is a down to the bone look at relationships and suicide. It made me cry often. It also really reminded me of a two person play akin to Tennessee Williams. Not many authors can do this and Ms. Fitch is masterful at her craft. Not for the meek or those unaccustomed to searching their own souls. Thank you for another unordinary novel. The characters will stick with me for a long time.Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoyed this book. I liked White Oleander and when I saw this thought it would be similar. It's been awhile since I read it and would like to read it again but from what I remember it's very dark and a little sporadic but that helps accomplish the author's goal. It does a very good job portraying the thoughts of the main character. You really feel like you are in her head most of the book.
