Bliv medlem af LibraryThing for at finde ud af, om du vil kunne lide denne bog. Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. So unnecessarily racist. ( ) This book is barely okay - touted as satirical, but I didn't find anything satirical or entertaining or remotely appealing about the story or the characters. After enjoying "Bernadette", I expected to like this book too. Definitely didn't. The unhappy rich wife was so stereotypical and the troubled marriage with a husband that works too hard and doesn't listen and a bored and aimless wife becomes boring to read about. And sister Sally.... really a nasty piece of work, manipulative and shallow and so unlikeable. Don't waste your time. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Violet Parry is living the quintessential life of luxury in the Hollywood Hills with David, her rock-and-roll manager husband, and her darling toddler, Dot. She has the perfect life--except that she's deeply unhappy. David expects the world of Violet but gives little of himself in return. When she meets Teddy, a roguish small-time bass player, Violet comes alive, and soon she's risking everything for the chance to find herself again. Also in the picture are David's hilariously high-strung sister, Sally, on the prowl for a successful husband, and Jeremy, the ESPN sportscaster savant who falls into her trap. For all their recklessness, Violet and Sally will discover that David and Jeremy have a few surprises of their own. No library descriptions found. |
