This woman can write! Deadpan commentary: “We shouldn’t be exposed to this. No longer can I claim to be a Keyes virgin! With interesting character names (I love these things) and genuine quality quirky humour, I am most happy to say I have found my new go to author! True to life characterisation I more importantly real life moments, I was captivated by this delightful quality read. I found it hard not to fall in love with the Casey family. The dynamics between such a close family group who were each others biggest fans and at the same time critics was forever changing. The story of the extended Casey family was at once sweet and bitter sweet. Grown ups was my first book by the author Marian Keyes. Well done Marian Keyes, well done! – Maggie, VIC, 5 stars And all the secrets! You will change alliances and fall in love with them all. ![]() ![]() There’s the bossy one, the kind one, the hard done by one and then all the in-laws and outlaws and everyone in between. I am sure you will recognise qualities, good and bad, from every family you’ve known. The Casey Family are a mixed bunch and draw you into their madness before you know it. Grown Ups is the brand-new book from the Number One bestselling author of The Break and The Woman Who Stole My Life. ![]() While some people clash, other people like each other far too much. But under the surface, though, conditions are murkier. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bechdel also uses dictionary definitions as an ongoing motif, a cliche that ALWAYS annoys me ("'orgasm: or-gaz-um-' "what is an orgasm? what does it mean in the context of my own life? Let's examine this word and blah blah blah blah" <-bitchy paraphrasing). Comparing the map in The Wind in the Willows to a map of her local terrain is one thing: comparing her first act of performing cunnilingus to entering Homer's cave of Polyphemus made me groan out loud. Bechdel continuously draws parallels to anything and everything literary. The constant literary references (Joyce, Camus, Proust, Wilde, etc) do not impress me and they do not enrich the story she is telling. She doesn't make me care about her, and I care only a little bit about her dad, whom the book focuses on. The key to this is good writing, and although Bechdel's writing is ORNAMENTAL, it's not engaging. This is how I feel: any person, no matter how mediocre his/her life might be perceived, can be made into a great story. However, this is not a review of The Song of Solomon, so I suppose I will set aside that grudge for now. To put it in less crude terms, both books overflow with self-conscious references to classic literature (both use The Odyssey in a major way). Reading Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic put me in the same irritated and impatient mood experienced when reading Toni Morrison's The Song of Solomon in high school: both books feel like major wank-offs to the writers' cumulative reading endeavors. ![]() ![]() Now a senior, she’s lost everything: her best friend, the trust of her parents, driving privileges, Internet access. ![]() She just happens to make one terrible mistake her junior year in high school which costs her ten months in juvenile detention. ![]() I loved it!Ĭadence Miller is a good girl. Now add to the mix the fact that the heroine is a Christian from a church going, Bible thumping family and you have the recipe for a story that will leave no feather unruffled. They were attracted to each other, they fell in love and they acted on their feelings. I loved that the author wasn't afraid to explore such a controversial, unconventional topic.The taboo screams loud and clear and despite the fact that the relationship was legally acceptable in their state, it's up to every reader to decide if they can morally justify it because the facts are this: the heroine in a 17 year old student and the hero is her 28 year old math teacher. To give a little bit of background, Good is a New Adult student/teacher romance but there is nothing sugar-coated about it. The dedication at the beginning set the tone for the whole story: Good was a well-written, rebellious romance that defied rules and crossed lines. ![]() ![]() ![]() This being the true first edition published in 2 volumes by Italian art publisher Franco Maria Ricci.
