The Year of Magical Thinking

This book was extremely depressing.

I LIKED IT.

When I first read it, I was in a depressed mood, so I wasn't exactly excited about reading a book about death.  It isn't exactly a fun, light-hearted subject.

However, I wouldn't want to read a fun, light-hearted book.  That would be no fun.

This one was troubled.

I liked how Joan Didion talked about letting go.  How it took her a long time.  It really hit me.  It just clicked.  This book, unlike most others we read in class, made me want to keep reading, so I did.  I read the book in 2 days.  I could have read it in one if I had the time.  It was that good.  It was just enjoyable.  I like hearing about other peoples' battles. This managed that in a great way.

One thing though: all her complaining did get a little bit annoying, I'm not gonna lie...
