Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. mcmillan is an engaging and entertaining writer, and it feels like there's a lot of heart in her stories - which will be relatable for many readers. life is bonkers, and people lose themselves along the way! my hesitation in rating the novel any higher comes from feeling like her books are so similar. i have only read a few of them, but the characters and situations definitely overlap. as well, the ending to this one was a bit hard to take. ( ) i've only read a few terry mcmillan books but they all seem to be about (more or less) the same thing. it's not something i'm uninterested in reading about (women growing older and finding their lives and relationships stale) but i'm not sure i need to read about it again and again. still, this was an alright read and it had a number of funny parts. and what a relief to read about black people for a change, where the default race wasn't white. i very much appreciated that. I said I wasn't going to do it this year, but I did it anyway: I read, cover to cover, a seriously flawed book. Every plot point, every character, every setting, screamed cliche, cliche, cliche. Yet I kept reading. Why? I never do this. All I can figure is it was the main character's midlife struggles and the family's African American-ness that kept me tuned in to the last page. The truth is that the whole book was really a bad fictionalized version of Dr. Phil-like advice about menopause and male midlife crisis. Excerpt from www.HomeGirl.typepad.com: I finished Terry McMillan's The Interruption of Everything tonight. This is definitely a page-turner. It's a universal story. It's not full of cliches or male bashing or gratuitous sex (I hate that that's what I expected from her, but it sorta was). It's not sugar-coated or exaggerated.
