Book Reviews of Where the Heart Is (Oprah's Book Club)
Book Review: Awful
Summary: 1 Stars
I picked up this book because I've read "Honk and Holler Opening Soon" and really enjoyed it. This book is nothing like it. It's raw and gratuitous. I'm not easily offended, but please, did I have to know in graphic detail how a rapist sodomized a young boy? Do I need to know that a woman's eyelid was split open and the eyeball protruded through it? Disgusting!
Here's the funny part. I finished the book (I'm neurotic like that) and left it in a restaurant in Malaysia. The restaurant calls the room in the hotel I'm staying at to tell me I left it behind. I thank them and hang up. Two minutes later the doorbell to the room rings and it's a waiter from the restaurant with the dang book in his hand! I can't even lose this thing!
Long story short - pass on this one unless you like gratuitous, forced violence. "Honk and Holler" is much better.
