A heart-clenching and poignant novel. Cherished and reread.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Two Moons in August (Hardcover)
I first read Two Moons in August when I was in grade school. This year I will be a Senior in high school and I know I have read this book at least 25 times. Nothing has ever touched me as deeply. Brook's presents her characters and situations with such bittersweetness and honesty that the reader feels their sorrow and their awkwardness. They experience the heat of a Canadian summer, the eccentricity of the 1950's, the loss of a mother, the love/hate relationship of sisterhood, and the restlessness of first love. The best part is that they experience all of this through a lurid and funny first person narative that hovers between reality and the fanciful illusions of ourselves that we all house inside. Two Moons in August has not received the attention it deserves. As a reader I came away feeling sane and human. There is no one who has a heart or a soul that would not feel the same after reading this original and tender novel.

One of the best books i've read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Two Moons in August: A Novel (Point) (Paperback)
This book rocks! I've read this books a million times and it's still as good as the first time i've read it. This book is about family relationships, and love. It's a really good book for mature 12 year olds and up. It's a story about a girl who becomes interested in the boy across the street. Read it and find out what happens.
