I'm not into blood and guts, and she does a good job of keeping the messy stuff out of her books, MJ knows how to entertain with that perfect balance. I highly recommend it. For that matter I recommend all of her books.
She has a quirky sense of comedic humor that makes you really care for her characters. The chapters are short and keep you going from the very start. An easy, delightful read. I dare you not to laugh at her characters. Bet you can't help yourself! Just weird and unlikeable characters. I didn't like it.. I'm familiar with most of MaryJanice Davidson's stories, and some of them are even my favorite. But this one was so dissapointing and dull I had to look at the first page and make sure that I didn't order by accident someone's else work Nope, that's her, Ms Davidson.
I didn't have any difficulty keeping track on which one of the sisters was present at the moment, but the story itself, so-called boyfriend another piece of work , often foolish and timid leading sister Cadence - even Adrienne with her songs was better for me - and plus little to no plot forced me to leave the book unfinished.
I wish an author good luck with that but I won't be reading next one in the series. I was very amused. Amusing dialog, lively action, a very fun read. I think most people would find this book off-putting, but I liked it.
It was funny, made me laugh, and was definitely different than any book I've ever read. I read the entire thing in one sitting. I'm not surprised it didn't get good reviews just because it is very different, and when confronted with something weird and out-of-the-ordinary, most people will instantly dislike it. If you like MaryJanice Davidson's other books and keep an open mind, then you should enjoy this book. One person found this helpful.
My partner really enjoyed this book. She couldn't put it down! She's looking forward to reading something else from this author. Here is a room in which, once, you slept.
Finally, as you thought of it at the time, but Christ, you were 19 — where was the urgency? Certainly not in your blue-curtained bedroom. And see how already, the mind is interfering with the outline of the thing; how, already, the mind is piling on and chipping away, so that, within seconds of the image of that room coming to you, that room from that year in your life, it is at once dissolving, it is at once becoming less than it was and becoming so much more.
A blue curtain; if you focus, if you fix, on the curtain, could that scrap of cheap fabric — Penneys, two or three pounds, bought with your earnings from your summer job because you wanted something of your own in your room — become a conduit?
At 19, you wrote long, long diary entries — and all that has to be done to turn this into fiction, surely, is to effect some kind of transfer to some other kind of page? You write to your editor, telling him you think the book is very nearly done. The pages pile up. But the wheels, you begin to realise, are not going anywhere; the wheels are just spinning round and round in old dust. Refresh and try again.

Start by marking “Me, Myself and I” as Want to Read: Jane Louise Curry was born in East Liverpool, Ohio, on September 24, Curry grew up in Pennsylvania (Kittanning and Johnstown), but upon her graduation from college she moved to Los Angeles, California, and London. Book 1 of the Dark Reflections Series Tristan is an actor and he plays a supervillain in the movies. At least he thought he did, but then he has an accident and he.
He decides to give it a try, and ends up getting stuck four years in the past for twelve hours. In this time he meets the old him, who follows him back to the future. He now has to race to get him back before he disappears. This book was alright, but i would not recommend it. The Egyptian Box is a tightly written horror written for middle grade readers.
Me, Myself and I is a young adult science fiction. The time travel plot had potential and the blurb had me eager to start reading but I ended up having to struggle to finish it. Being a young adult novel it lacks the odd sexual explorations of Gerrold's book but the basic idea of a man mentoring and working with copies of himself due to time travel is the same. Russell, boy genius and graduate student in engineering or something similar is having the worst day of his life.
A rival has developed a similar but possibly better chip and he discovers that his girlfriend of four years is dumping him for the rival. When he decides to bury himself in research he discovers his advisor's secret project: He ends up working with his twelve and eight year old selves.
Can they together stop the rival and win the girl's heart for good? This time travel romantic comedy and mystery has a university setting somewhere in the south bay. From clues dropped during the novel the university is probably based on Stanford but I don't recall it ever being given a name. I liked the choice of location over the more typical choice of either Caltech or MIT.
