The Plot
by Jean Hanff Korelitz
View in Library Catalog
book cover


There is just something about this book I did not like. I’m not sure if it was the writing, which was flat and took way too many words to explain things, or if it was simply the plot, no pun intended. It’s about a writer who takes someone’s idea for a story. But I found the events predictable and frankly was glad when the book was done.

This is a really heartwarming novel about depression and strength. If you like be more chill or dead Evan Hansen, you will enjoy this book.

The book is OK I know she is one of the top authors. There’s a lot of typos in the book. It gets a little boring from time to time, but I can’t seem to put it down so that’s a good sign

It starts slow but is pretty fun once it gets moving. Some of tonal shifts and grammatical mistakes were a bit jarring, though.

What an interesting book! On the surface it is a story about a mother troubled by many ailments, many of which no one can seem to diagnose, that result in her not being able to walk all the time. She and her adult daughter, who has put her life on hold to care for her, leave England and go to Spain to see a doctor who may be able to help her. But this book is really about a relationship between a mother and daughter, and about people coming to terms with themselves. But what really makes this book special is the writing which is so descriptive and engaging in a way I have not found before in a book. A definite must read.

A young boy Alfie gets the gift of being able to do things twice, to go back in time and redo an event. The catch is he would then have to accept the outcome of the do-over. This worked well for a while until Alfie started trying daring, risky things in terms of his popularity and his love life. Naturally exploring feelings and desires, Alfie "loses what should have been and must live with what he can't get back. Desires are not always desireable.

This is such an amazing book. I did this as an audio book and the reader reads the book beautifully. It is the story of a young girl in high school who is struggling with being the object of male interests, of her own feelings, and of her religious mother’s requirements. It is insightful and moving and there were parts where I did not want to stop. This is a definite must read.

I have read about 6 other books by Marie Benedict about woman in history. The books are historical fiction. This one is based on The woman Egyptian Pharoh Hatshepsut. When I was in Egypt I saw her temple. I like all things about ancient Egyptian history. The book was a sweeping adventure that delivers history with imagination.
