4.0 out of 5 stars What a great novel
I was a little leary about starting this book, something about the jacket description or the cover, I'm not sure. But once I picked up this novel I realized I was definitley wrong. This novel is so well written, there were sentences I read more than once just to be able to take it all in. If you like a lyrical well-written novel you need to read this!

2.0 out of 5 stars Better Books to Choose
My book club chose this book based on a short write-up in a recommended reading list for book clubs. A story from the perspective of four women who loved the same man. We had just finished a much more serious book and were looking for something a little saucier. This book is odd. The book is not evenly weighted among the women, who are not fully developed as characters,...

This review is from: The Looking Glass: A Novel (Paperback)
My book club chose this book based on a short write-up in a recommended reading list for book clubs. A story from the perspective of four women who loved the same man. We had just finished a much more serious book and were looking for something a little saucier. This book is odd. The book is not evenly weighted among the women, who are not fully developed as characters, each of which you feel a lack of attachment to. The perspective of the book shifts and be a bit abrupt at time and includes bits of information that just don't seem to fit with the storyline. Consistent with the rest of the book it all just ends randomly. My roommate read it and immediately put it in the recyling bin because she wouldn't recommend it to anyone and wouldn't bother to resell it.
