 Hey, I Liked It May 14, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Granted, I haven't read this book since I bought it as a mass market paperback (my edition was the one with Goth cover at right) some 20 years ago. It was shelved (and possibly marketed?) as a YA book. Anyway, I really enjoyed it. It's about a young woman's obsession with a suicide, a poet whose Long Island family the heroine, Clare, tracks down and lives with for a while. What I remember are some strong descriptive passages and an evocative sense of place (Long Island, eh). I mean, it's not a patch on The Position or The Ten Year Nap, but what the hell. I liked it a lot. And naturally planned to be a death girl as soon as I was allowed.
 Possibly the worst book I've ever attempted to read April 6, 2008
I bought Sleepwalking after reading a couple of books by Meg Wolitzer that I loved: The Wife and Surrender Dorothy. Both great books. I recommend reading THOSE instead of this one. You might be able to judge this book by its dated, goofy cover. The black and white mildly seductive woman with a bright red rose. Yikes! However, I haven't gotten to the end. Maybe the ending makes all the difference. Let's hope.
