A review by ir_sharp2
Mildred Pierce by James M. Cain

4.0

I finished it before book club!!! I thought this one was going to be stodgy and boring, but I was pleasantly surprised. You were thrown into the meat of the story immediately, and it just kept you along for the ride. I was irritated with Mildred for being so gaga over the bratty Veda, but she was still a very real, very in-depth character. I really liked the story. If I could change one thing, I'd make the elapsed time breaks less choppy. This wasn't a major issue, though. Good choice!
