Representaion Supposing Books Blue Shoe

The New York Times Bestseller from the beloved author of Bird by Bird and Traveling Mercies.

Mattie Ryder is marvelously neurotic, well-intentioned, funny, religious, sarcastic, tender, angry, and broke. Her life at the moment is a wreck: her marriage has failed, her mother is failing, her house is rotting, her waist is expanding, her children are misbehaving, and she has a crush on a married man. Then she finds a small rubber blue shoe—nothing more than a gumball trinket—left behind by her father. For Mattie, it becomes a talisman—a chance to recognize the past for what it was, to see the future as she always hoped it could be, and to finally understand her family, herself, and the ever-unfolding mystery of her sweet, sad, and sometimes surprising life.

Assess Regarding Books Blue Shoe

This was a weird book! I didnt hate it but I didnt love it either. I found it interesting at times but mostly the main characters were just so blah!! I was lost on the time period of this story. None of what the author wrote lined up. I could never figure out entire sequences of the book and thats irritating to me. There were also storylines and characters that just disappeared and Im still not sure of the great significance of theblue shoe other than something to use to give a title. I was

This is the kind of book that makes you think the publisher's assistant mistakenly sent a draft to the printer rather than the final manuscript. The characters are boring, the story just trundles along, there are random religious references, descriptions of some characters are clear, others not so, and the 'blue shoe' that the title refers to is a benign child's toy which plays an inexplicable role in the main character's psyche. The book reminded me of a writing assignment that someone would

Oh my, oh my, oh my! I really don't know what to say about this book except ... oh my, oh my, oh my!Anne Lamott is such an incredibly talented and honest writer, but this is a big unwieldy mess of a book. There are little gems in the writing, in the characterizations, and in the telling of this novel, which saves it, for me, from an "I hated it" rating. The problem is that it tackles too many storylines and ultimately doesn't do any of them justice. In the laundry list of conflicting narratives,

I bought this book to read with my book club. I probably would not have chosen it on my own.This is the first book by Anne Lamott I read - or I should say ATTEMPTED to read. And it will be my last. I absolutely hated this book. I'm an avid reader, and I can not remember the last time I started a book and didn't finish it. Normally, I feel compelled to read a book to the end, even if I don't like it, thinking there must be something redeeming about it. I kept pushing myself to finish this one,



No one is a bigger fan of Anne Lamotts Bird by Bird, than me. Its gentle and funny and full of smart advice about writing, so when my book club selected Blue Shoe I was right on board. But Blue Shoe turned out to be a schizophrenic read for me. Her depiction of children was spot-on perfect. I could relate to the adult characters, and there were many of them. They were consistent and believable, but most of them were wallowing in emotional wreckage, and I just didnt like them very much, not even

Maybe I just like Lamott's nonfiction better than her fiction. Maybe I had to pick it up and put it down too many times without enough long stretches of time to "get into it." My two complaints: disjointed narrative and more of a focus on turning pretty phrases than moving the plot forward. Once I DID get to sit down with it for longer stretches of time and the plot seemed to move forward more toward the end, I ended up liking it better. I'm having trouble with these "weak" women I read
