[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't remember finding The Goldfinch disturbing.  I remember thinking it needed a good edit and to be shorter by about 200 pages, but disturbing?  No.[/quote]

Agree with all of this. I loved the first 2/3 of the book. The rest dragged for me.[/quote]

I'll third this. I liked so many things about the book, but I felt it needed editing. I had to force myself to get through several sections and found some of the characters to be really unlikable. It was a solid 3/5 for me, but I know most people absolutely loved it.

Due to third trimester insomnia, I actually read four books last week: The Signature of all Things, A House in the Sky, Little Bee, and Orange is the New Black. Of those, I'd recommend A House in the Sky and Orange is the New Black, though both are memoirs by women who did very stupid, naive things and found themselves in trouble as a result.

I'm currently reading Going Clear, about Scientology, which is interesting but also kind of dry and detailed, which is perfect since it puts me to sleep after about 45 minutes![/quote]
