Books In Her Shoes: A Novel
Books and Publications Average Rating:

Rating: - In her shoes
The first 2/3 of the book is really good and believable. The writing still is not impressive, but I read 2/3 of the book in something like 2 days, and I was very amused and entertained. But the ending of the book was way too cheesy for my, and I really had a hard time believing in the book (it's like the 3rd Lord of the Rings movie... the last half an hour should also have been cut out). The book became so bad in the end that it toke me 2 weeks to read the last 1/3 of the book. And I did not enjoy reading the end at all... A shame the ending was so bad, because the book really had potential! 4 starts for the first 2/3 of the book and 0 starts for the ending.

Rating: - Weiner gets ambitious and succeeds
This is a fun read about some very serious issues -- mental illness in the family, what learning issues to a person's self esteem, how estrangement from family can eat at someone's soul for years. I love Jennifer Weiner novels, they are fun to read, but with this one, she earned my respect as a writer. I especially enjoyed and appreciated her fully drawn portraits of the older adults, they are full human beings with power, passion, and even guile when necessary, a real break from the stereotyped treatment of older adults often found in light reading.

I would highly recommend this book or any book by Jennifer Weiner. It is a definite read for anyone who has a sister.

Rating: - Great Read! Jen Weiner Did it again!
I am currently on a misson to read all of Jennifer Weiner's work. I started with Good in bed ( slow start, but a great book) then on to Good Night Nobody ( I really connected with this book, loved it) Little Eathquakes ( my current Favorite) and just finished In her shoes. I really enjoyed, In her Shoes. I read this book in two days, as a busy working Mom that is nearly impossible. Take the plunge, read all JW's books! I am startting on Certain girls next!
