A revealing story of a meeting of the High School of 40 years. Everyone has transformed his own reason for the presence and the weekend in a personal revelation for many participants. I especially liked the veterinarian Lester. Rating: 5.3
The book presents a gallery of characters that can participate in their preparation for the fortieth (and final) session does not, then follow over the weekend and “conséquences.Je came to love this book finished…. As I Am” This certain Age and time, if the circumstances under which the book is relevant. However, it is OK (my personal kiss of death!), But this was not the truth echoes I’ve come to expect from Mrs. Berg. Again, the characters “OK”, but, behaviors and decisions are not the ring for moi.Attendez Paperback true. . . . . then borrow from a friend. Rating: 5.3
What a disappointment. Apparently, Ms. Berg took a book to quickly match finished to a book contract. The story was so slow that I skip 10 pages at once and to keep it simple with the action. The point of the book did not come until the last 10 pages and it was not much of a point. Rating: 5.1
Having just visited my own 40th Meeting in August 2008, I found this book very entertaining, but I’m also a fan Die Elizabeth Berg. I own all the books she ever wrote. Although I can not say that there are truths that change lives exposed in this story is the reality of his regression secondary character, no matter how many years since the end seems a truism to be universal. I was the smart girl thin Twiggy in the class that was good enough to do homework every way, but, God forbid, not a date. I am sharing these feelings of inferiority about my 10th Reunion after four years of experience of the “popularity” in the institution (thin is the new Marilyn Monroe) and a leadership position at work. Wrong. I sat in a corner all night to feel like the girl with whom nobody wanted to eat lunch. But I stand firm and went to my 20th 25th, 30th Meeting, 35 and 40, and each has improved, as the general “shock” were on each side at the entrance of the room (as in “Who All of these are old?”) and more frequently. I am also a fellow student shortly after the 20th Meeting is married the future, much more fun.concentration Berg given to a handful of comrades, some popular, some “Corny,” noted the meaning of life, and all the expectations of the group, calculated as the “last” for reasons never explained, makes the reading experience as personal as the meeting itself. Not surprisingly, some of hope, “connect” did, some were not, but everyone with a person other than her when they arrived on the left. Berg is one of the few writers who have to flash a story from beginning to his back and carry a minimum of universal truths can say a few pages on how best selling authors in the other end twice as much can sides. If I have a complaint about a mountain, is that his books are not long enough. I am always sad when they end and you want to know, it had doubled the length of his stories. In addition to never be ready when it’s over, I feel like I have for my money, if the book is closer to 400 pages.J hope that they will not anytime soon retire. Rating: 5.5
Also, I read, not all activities are more recent novel by Elizabeth Berg, but loyal fans were disappointed. I found the characters rather low and, frankly, boring. The idea appealed to me as “old, but I found that this is a crazy story, and I could not really relate to. I wanted to snap some of the characters! Rating: 5.2
