Book Reviews of Tam Lin
Book Review: 5 stars when I was 15...1 star now...we'll average it to 3
Summary: 3 Stars
I read and enjoyed this book when I was in high school, so when I came across it at my parents' house I decided it was an old friend, deserving of a visit. Hmmm...well sometimes friends grow apart. In the years between my first reading and my revisit, I attended a liberal arts school where I majored in English, romanced and married a golden haired Classics major (who did own some poofy shirts, but only wore them for costume events) and dealt with roommates, birth control, etc. With my own experiences from which to draw, I didn't feel like the portrayal of life at college was accurate or interesting. Yes, there are pretentious people who sit around trying to out quote each other, but who wants to hang out with them? I apparently thought I would when I was 15, but reading it now, I felt like the characters were empty shells with nothing to offer but other writers' words. I usually really enjoy Magical Realism, but this felt like dewy eyed nostalgia with some faeries thrown it. My 15 year old self gives it fives stars...my 30-something incarnation can only manage one.
