This book was in a bag of books from my aunt. I've read a couple of her novels before and this one left me with the same impression. The story was enjoyable but she does like to make a story far longer than what it needs to be. I'm not afraid of a long book - some of my favorite reads are hugely long. I just want the length to mean something and to me, this novel didn't do it for me. For a free book - it was enjoyable and if you enjoy her style of writing you may enjoy this. As for my opinion: 2.5/5 and it goes into the Goodwill recycle box.
I subscribe to the book of the day email and when I read about this one, it sounded interesting. I picked this one up at the library and gave it a read. I did enjoy it. Essentially it talks about how angry a person would get if someone stole their parking spot and how your perspective would change if it were a cow rather than a person. It then goes into detail about how to change your reaction to things that would normally anger you. I found some great ideas in here. I rolled my eyes at some parts too, but that's just my personality. 4/5
Book 3 - I have no picture before because I don't want to say. No, it's not porn. LOL There are certain books that would best be classified under guilty pleasures and this was one of them. I rate it 3/5. I am reading the sequel now.
Besides the secret sequel, I am also reading 2 other books - hopefully to blog about next week.
I feel the same way about Maeve Binchy books, so I usually just pass them over these days. Will put The Cow in the Parking Lot on hold soon. :)
