Every Good & Perfect Gift
reviewed on + 4 more book reviews


Well that was two hours I'll never get back. Poorly written and just stupid. The main two characters drop out of college and get married at 20. They are whiny, self-centered, and apparantly rich, since they don't have to work. Oh, and very very religious. Then at 38 one decides to have kids. But she has trouble getting pregnant and goes to the one doctor in California who has never heard of infertility treatment. So after a couple of years of Robitussin (no I am not making this up) she gets pregnant. Then when the baby is 5 months old they take it to the ER because it is teething. (still not making this up) All of these crises require both friends and both spouses to drop everything and take part. Then the woman gets early onset Alzheimers. So they ignore it for a couple of years and let her take care of the baby, even though she can't drive, remember peoples names or read. Other than that, nothing. Oh but they pray. A lot. Personally I would go for some Aricept.

Just a waste of paper and ink...
