I really didn't like this book... When I was reading it, I kept waiting the whole time for "something" to happen. I found it very boring.

This is one of my all time favorite books. It has a funny, touching, haunting story about memory, the stories we tell ourselves and what it means to love.

What if you could remember everything you ever did or said in your life? This is what happened when there was a fire that spilled a chemical in the town of Clarence. The whole town can remember everything that ever happened to them after the fire. Can you imagine the relived hurt feelings and quarrels. It's a story of forgiveness, love, understanding & hope. It's an unforgettable story of people who come together to help the town & end up helping each other in ways they had no idea they were needed. I loved the story. It leaves one with the lesson we should be more careful with what we do and say in the future.

I really enjoyed reading this story of entwined memories and how they effected the world as it is now.

If your looking for a book with a lot of action this isn't it. If you enjoy a good story and something that makes you think this a great reading choice.

One of those rare books with an original idea. A little like a feminine Jonathan Carroll...quirky and interesting. I've ordered her second book which also looks refreshing in its originality. Spilling Clarence was a great break from "more of the same".

DNF. i really wanted to like this book.i tried really hard to follow the ins and outs of it. but it was pretty confusing going from present to the past with out any indication of which was which. great premise but this author did not pull it off.
