So I just didn't like this book. I was torn between my initial engagement in the girlhood story - which I did like, and then the seemingly random and odd carnie story. After a point in the book I just lost interest in the character. It seems she just floated along rarely taking any interest in her own life, and I really disconnected from the book. I originally started this book in audio format - but the last disc was horribly scratched and I couldn't finish the book. Finally I decided to just read it at the library the other day and I was sad to find there was no connection between the two stories, nothing that made one half jive with the other, nothing that gave an indication the main character had moved in her life at all - if there was it was too deep for me and I missed it. I failed to find the comedy in this, instead just settling on considering it a bizarre, surreal coming of age, without a lot of coming of age.
Do You like book The School Of Beauty And Charm (2001)?
