bibliographic 's review for:
Belzhar
by Meg Wolitzer
An interesting concept, but the puke-worthy catastrophization of the main character made it difficult to read. There are some amazing sentences sprinkled throughout the book. Ones that made me stop and reread the sentence and murmur "...truth!" But, then I'd hit a page where the main character pines ad nauseam about the demise of her 41 day relationship*. Some of the people at the Wooden Bar have gone through legitimate tragedy and it seems some just need to grow up. That's my two-cents!
* If you've read the book you know the ridiculous nature of this claim.
