Narration Toward Books Patty Jane's House of Curl

My mom recommended this book for me and I'm not quite sure why. The whole thing felt like it was trying too hard - every life event had to be chocked full with wisdom and little sayings. Each character had these "charming" eccentricities that are supposed to be endearing, but instead it felt like too much going on. Finally, even though the characters had many road-bumps along the way and plenty of sadness, none of it really felt genuine. Even the depressing moments felt chocked with sugary-sweetness.

I would recommend this for someone who wants a light read and doesn't need much depth. My mom liked it and I do usually trust her taste, so maybe I'm missing something that is there.

Weigh Up About Books Patty Jane's House of Curl

Set in Minneapolis and around places I know well, this book hooked me immediately. Though I read it long ago, I fell in love with Lorna Landvik's style of writing...not to mention a really great story. Lorna writes in a voice that sounds like your best friends'...as though she's just across the table from you sharing a cup of coffee. It's a book I keep on my shelf and have re-read, something I seldom do. You will love the characters, the story-line and the easy drift of words as you turn each

This is the second time I read this. I reread Landviks debut to prepare for the long awaited sequel that just came out. A story about 2 sisters and their ups and downs thru life and love. a great summer read!

I read this book for the first time soon after it came out in 1997. I loved it, and did again the second time. I remember well that first read - as a mother of three, staying in bed all day because I couldnt put the book down. The kids would wander in every so often and find me either laughing or crying as I read. The characters, somewhat eccentric, get to your heart and make you wish you could have been a customer at Patty Janes House Of Curl.

3.5 starsLorna Landvik is a Minnesota author, and she gets Minnesota right. Minneapolis and St. Paul, their landmarks, river and lakes, come alive reading this. The story is pure fiction to be enjoyed as such. A little unlikely / unbelievable at times, but touches the heart with humanity and realness at others. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad (I cried). Partly very predictable, while sneaking in a few surprises. I was distracted at times by typos, but the writing is witty and the story is

I first picked up this book because of the title..and I knew it would have to be about a bunch of women and their lives. And it was, It was all I thought it would be. funny, messy, funny and sad.What I thought was a predictable part turned out to be something totally different, and I was left wishing that that part was more detailed. It felt out of place at first but such good writing brought it all together.I love stories of women and their lives and especially women who are good friends no

I heard of this book often when it first came out. I even tried to read it at the time. I guess I just wasn't old enough to appreciate it yet. The humor is more subtle than I was ready for maybe? Or the storyline just too hmmmm... not twentysomethingish? I don't know exactly why I didn't like it then, but I know that I do now. I laughed, often. And I cried, too. Often when someone says that they cried at a book, they mean that they teared up. I usually mean that, too. But this time, I cried

I have a few books that just ring true to my heart...Big Stone Gap, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, and now Patty Jane's House of Curl. I loved each and every one of these characters, and I wanted to be friends with them all! I could hang out in her salon!! I did NOT want this book to end!Once again, thank you to Hannah Rae for a great recommendation!
