"Although the book is older and the water birth section is dated, I love this book and the helpful techniques it offers for the birth process. I think that any woman who expects to have a problem-free birth should read this and consider the best approach for her."

"This book changed the face of American fiction.
A must read for everyone to see why our books are structured the way they are."

"This could have been five books. It could still be five books. Too much info and little closure in a "memoir". I was disappointed since I love appalachian lit."

"We listened to this on a road trip and hated to push pause while stopping for gas! It was a great book and kept you wondering how it would end the whole time."

"I started this book based on the strong positive reviews... I am sorry that I spent the money on it because I was very disappointed.
Basically three (or five) stories pieced together that connect in different ways, but each story is not fully told and thus the plot loses steam just when it gets good. Blah."

"A great read! I love how the dynamic friendship between the women grows and the characters are realistic. It also explores how a life-altering event (such as being diagnosed with breast cancer) can become the catalyst for working out other issues in your life and uncovering hidden fascets."

"Wonderful! Happy to see gender issues in main-stream literature! Though the book begins with a slower pace as the reader learns the rich history of Cal's grandparents, the second half of the novel flashs by with his personal story.
I loved the novel and wished it kept going... I didn't want to finish it knowing the story would be over. The reader is always aware of two time periods: the present Cal telling the story and his life unfolding during narration and, in the beginning the story of his family, while later in the novel the second time period is Cal's childhood.
I recommend this book if you have the time to devote to reading it, the intellegence to comprehend the wonderful literary techniques and vocabulary, and the trust in the author to deliver a brilliant story. Lastly, anyone studying sex and gender issues would thrill to read the second half, as a thorough workover of sociological nomemclature is utilized."

"A great collection of shorts by King. Good for those times when you can't devote to a whole novel. Pick it up and read one when you can!"

"I liked this book, though I thought some parts of the protagonist's life were fast-forwarded while too much time was spent on others. I had a hard time visualizing her sometimes and her actions didn't always seem realistic. Overall, I enjoyed reading it, but I read it stop and go due to the inconsistancies."

"Although the research is dated (mid 1990's), the approaches and theories are still valid. One can see how much (or not) US school systems have changed since the penning of this book. A good way to look at the institution from the outside.
Interested in educational sociology or not, this text is a good read (should be required) for any parent. Lots of eye-openers to make you rethink the US educational institution."
