A Little Life

[FarrahJobling]

The most heart wrenching book ever....I can't put it down, and I can't hold back the tears.

I warned you (or I tried to). Seriously though, I will never be able to say enough good things about this book.

Maybe we should recommend this one for the April Book Club?

I did recommend it. But it's really really LONG in addition to emotional...maybe an over the summer read to give everyone a little more time.

I'm thinking of picking it up anyway. I need a good long read for the summer.

It was my favorite read of 2015!

I really want to . . . but it's been an emotional start to the year, and it's probably not a good idea. I cry at commercials, so I'd likely flood the house out with my crying at this book. Maybe I'll try it during the summer! Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm such a cry baby. The kids and I are also reading Wonder right now and I cry...the kids must think I'm weird.

My daughter is like her dad . . . rarely cries. She sat through Downtown Abbey with me, and I was bawling. She didn't shed a tear. It takes quite a bit to make her cry. My son, on the other hand, poor thing, is like me and will cry at the drop of a hat. Yes, daughter does make fun of me, too. My son gets me, though. LOL

I totally understand. How far are you through the book?

I'm over half....it's so so tragic. =...(

 

[FarrahJobling]

I think I'm going to have to give it up

 

[AnneofAlamo]

I just bought it...and I can get a narration? Do you think it would be worth it? just pondering?

WHAT?!? You can't give it up!! It really is worth plugging through.

Is the book "A Little Life" ?

So worth it. It is not easy to read - it's raw, and brutal, and heartbreaking. But truly a spectacular book. How much detail do you want?

 

[FarrahJobling]

I'm listening to it. It's sooooo long. Even at double and triple speeds

Is the book "A Little Life" ?

yes

 

[FarrahJobling]

I might have to take a drink every time someone says "I'm sorry"

 

[mrs2a50]

Okay, I didn't realize you were doing audio. Still worth plugging through. I had to know what happened to everyone.

Hahaha! Give someone your car keys then!
