In this book I reviewed for Fresh Fiction, Angie, a massage therapist, gives us an inside look at her life. The style of this book reminded me a lot of Studs Terkel's "Working," as it was a lot like just following her around and eavesdropping on her work day (except Studs talked to his subjects and this was a novel, obviously).
This also a bit of mystery sneaked into it, but it definitely took a backseat to the good stuff.
The full review is here.
On another note, so far this year, I have read 45 books and a total of 14,367 pages. My goal is 26,000 pages, so I'm well ahead of schedule. Last year, my goal was 35,000 pages, which I revised to 30,000 pages at the halfway point. I think I got these backwards!
It's amazing how those reviews add up... I had my 100th posted in January (or was it late december?) This week I show 179!
