This one took a while to hook me in—there’s a lot of character introduction and the plot takes time to get going. It’s well written and entertaining enough, though, it was never a slog. For me, the five-Star note was the secondary character of Meggy, and the chapter involving a sweet potato pie blew my mind. Before and after her part were three stars, so I’m averaging it out to four. ]]> Rating801385222 Fri, 20 Dec 2024 00:20:58 -0800 <![CDATA[Matthew Levie liked a review]]> /

Truly a masterpiece. Stellar characters, virtuoso use of language, Shakespearean plotting, amazing research. A little bit of that “oh look we’re all connected� thing like the movie “Crash,� but I found that just as charming as it was irritating. ]]> ReadStatus8551401633 Wed, 23 Oct 2024 10:05:42 -0700 <![CDATA[Matthew wants to read 'Regulating the Poor: The Functions of Public Welfare']]> /review/show/6948881511 Regulating the Poor by Frances Fox Piven Matthew wants to read Regulating the Poor: The Functions of Public Welfare by Frances Fox Piven
