It definitely isn't perfect but I think the subject matter kept me into this one - it's an issue I've very interested in.<br /><br />Hi Molly - I hope you get a lot out of reading this one when you get to it.<br /><br />Hi Steph - This one is similar to Kevin in some ways although Kevin is still my fave book out of the two.<br /><br />Hi C.B. James - thank you so much for your comment! I will be dropping by to check out your blog too.<br /><br />Hi Nicole - she doesn't shy away from the big issues does she? I really like that about her.<br /><br />Hi T - She definitely looks at some big issues - We May Need to Talk About Kevin is an amazing book - I have a copy if you would like to borrow??Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971901652392645980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433153409320048017.post-16805738107810571062010-04-25T00:59:04.418-07:002010-04-25T00:59:04.418-07:00This sounds like a deep read - maybe deeper than I...This sounds like a deep read - maybe deeper than I would go - but like Nicole has said, if Shiver's a Smart writer, it might be a good change for me. Thanks again for expanding my hirozons into new fields. I'll keep an eye out for something of hers.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14635416571278107397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433153409320048017.post-37972364617942342322010-04-24T07:51:26.086-07:002010-04-24T07:51:26.086-07:00I just piked this one up and I am looking forward ...I just piked this one up and I am looking forward to reading it. Shriver is such a smart writer than even when she missteps, her writing is still thought provoking.Nicole (Linus's Blanket)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12473607646939202824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433153409320048017.post-12872085606782833252010-04-24T07:37:51.121-07:002010-04-24T07:37:51.121-07:00I just got around to reading your blog today, it&#...I just got around to reading your blog today, it's been a busy week, and just wanted to let you know that I love it.

I read We Need to Talk About Kevin last year, and while I had some issues with its construction, I loved all the tricky issues that Shriver tackled. It sounds like this is very similar in that respect, so I'm sure I'll give it a go at some point!Stephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11477615688291798393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433153409320048017.post-41983732794420020072010-04-24T04:22:18.111-07:002010-04-24T04:22:18.111-07:00I just saw this book reviewed in Bookmarks magazin...I just saw this book reviewed in Bookmarks magazine and immediately added it to my TBR list.

I agree that ...I wasn't a big fan of this book. I agree that the Jackson family added too many of their own, different problems into the book and I felt this was a contrived way of cramming as many different health care problems into one book. I felt that it was just one long rant about the healthcare system and I got bored by all the policy details. I can see how it would be of more interest to someone working in the healthcare system, so am pleased you managed to get something from it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698068501004755678noreply@blogger.com
