I *loved* the 1st-p POV and Bina's voice. But at the same time I found myself impatient with the progress and repetition of the story. Maybe in another time and place I'll pick it up again.

The first 50 pages were of the most hilarious I ever read. After that, it got less hilarious but even better. Brilliant book. Seems like I'm adding two more books to my order list.

I absolutely loved this! Bina’s story is somehow a perfect cross between One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules. If you’re a fan of older, crotchety protagonists and unreliable narrators; then Bina is for you!

Stream of consciousness styled, it grew on me over the course of the book.
