She Is Me: A Novel Audiobook

" I'm really glad that I listened to this on tape and didn't waste time reading it. I would have been really pissed if I had spent time out of my life to read this. Although the book started off rather interesting I just couldn't see how everything fit together. Madame B was mentioned so many times that if a person hadn't read the book they would have been totally lost. She tackles so many topics within the book as well that the characters are someone shallow. The reader did a good job with some of the funny parts but that is about all. I was really really disappointed and will probably not read another of this authors books. I'm giving it 2 starts instead of one purely for the fact that at least she did mention some classic literature which is always a nice thing for authors to do... "

" This is funny and sad -- a daughter, a mother and a grandmother who are all ill, all mistrustful of one another, putting up fronts, etc. but who must care for one another in their respective illnesses. "

" Not an easy read, or a "fun" one, but a brutally frank look at three generations of women facing health and relationshionship crises, with an ending that is courageous enough not to tie up their stories in a neat bow. Fiction, but so real it stays with you after the last page has been read. "

" uneven -- sometimes the characters were compelling (mother with new lesbian mother, yes; academic-transiting-to-screenwriter, not always) but sometimes annoying. appreciated the family relationships and the ending was strong.... "

" Was about interesting topics, like mortality of your mother, adultery, different roles a single woman plays, but no insights or depth of perception. Only good thing was that it was not offensive and was quick to read. "

" this book is good...told from the perspective of three different mothers struggling with issues (adultery, death, sexuality). was good, but a bit over the top on the drama! "

" I had too much going on in my life to concentrate very well on this book. I felt it was disjointed, I think mostly because of things going on with me "

" I didn't care too much for this book. It is a story of a woman's disastrous life including her mother and grandmother's problems also. The author tackles death, sexuality, fidelity, and identity. It was just a little too much. The author could've wrote one story for each of those very big issues. "

" I didn't listen to this on audio but actaully read this one. "

" Can a book about how life is overwhelming for people of the sandwich generation be interesting? Apparently not. I wanted to like this book because I could relate to women feeling needed by everyone, but it was too boring. "

" Somewhat irritating; I almost didn't finish it. "

" she's really a good story teller. "

" What a mix of laughter & pain! Some great characters & well-written, but a little heavy because of the death, dying & caretaking issues. The lesbian development was well developed. It was a quick an overall enjoyable read. "

" i honestly didn't like this book at all. it was basic about 2 women dying of cancer. it was boring and dull. "

" At first it started out great! But then as I kept reading it wasn't all of what I expected. I actually just stopped reading the book altogether. "

" This is the book I currently find in a off sale with discount up to 70%. I need to prepare myself because the review is not quite in to this book. "

" This one isn't great -- it's cliche-ridden and superficial. But hey, I'm on a vacation and it's perfect airplane-reading. It's not offensive, doesn't require brain-power, and has moments of humor and insight. "

" Could not get through it. "

" it wasn't riveting but I really enjoyed the relationships and the characters. An easy read - but I enjoyed it. "

" Good beach reading. I liked the concept of the perspectives of the three generations of women, and it was sometimes amusing, but the drama was overdone. Shine tried to tackle too many serious issues at once. "

" Written in a classical sense...but is not outdated. Ok. "

" I really liked this book. Didn't expect to, not sure why so many are giving it a bad review. I had a hard time putting it down. I really sympathized with the characters. Was sad when it was over ... Almost feel like there should be a part two. "

" I've read three other Schine books that I really enjoyed, so I was really disappointed. This was terrible. The chaaracters were SO unlikable, I couldn't finish it. "

" Ok book. Said some thoughtful things. Grandma dying of cancer of the jaw; mother fighting colon cancer. Daughter taking care of everyone including husband and baby. It is not a downer; actually kind of happy. Easy, fast read. "

" This book was mentioned in the book, "Not Buyig It" by Judith Levine. This book took me a long time to read. It was slow and kinda interesting......... I don't think I'll read another Cathleen Schine book. "

" (Can you tell I'm getting desperate for books from my understocked in popular fiction university library?)Eh. I wouldn't call it chick-lit but paperdoll-lit - flat, 2D, who cares characters. "
