It is not all happy, but the sad parts, the scary parts, the parts that oprah-books would milk for a couple hundred pages are just. It is like those plastic smiling families from the happy past, but some of the nether parts are repeated. this is like a quickie in a gay bar on ecstasy. it is showy, it is flashy, it is short and fast. setting, staccato prose.īut against all odds, i am charmed! it is a glossy fairytale a world without consequences that just shimmers breezily along in this surface-only realm where everything is kind of coasting on a sea of mood stabilizers with no emotional depth. This book has everything going against my expected tastes: slick language, "cool" protagonists, l.a. The excitement of living my life is that i am always surprised by how i will respond the world is a big exciting oyster of possibility. how is this possible? i hate cutie-pie whimsical movies, but i loved amelie. i surprise myself daily: i love the coen brothers, but i hate the big lebowski. every day is a contradiction, every opinion is unpredictable and inconsistent.
