[.ca] Sorrow Floats (ISBN 1573226041)

worst book in the trilogy:
I am surprised at the number of positive reviews. I really enjoyed Skipped Parts and thought Social Blunders was interesting and entertaining, but this book was such a waste of time. I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. It was filled with self-pity. What happened to this girl who had so much potential? Geez! It was boring and overall annoying to read.

Why aren't more people reading Sandlin:
He is a convincing woman. This, the second of his trilogy, is filled with memorable lines, characters, and laughs. Perhaps too amusing for his own good, Sandlin does approach serious themes (divorce, alcoholism, physical disability, divorce) but does so in such an hysterically funny way that you plow right through them in a mad rush to lap up some more dialogue. There aren't enough modern writers that write insane comedy this unaffectedly. Enjoy this book.

Too bad the series is limited to three.:
One of the most enjoyable books I've ever read.

How can a sad story be so funny?:
If you get bummed out by stories that do not have feel-good endings, avoid this trilogy. Otherwise, if you can accept that things do not always turn out well for everyone, especially those with self-destructive tendencies, if you want a healthy dose of chuckles and guffaws, and if you want to read a well-written book, try Sorrow Floats and the other two books in the trilogy.

Great book:
I just bought this book today, i am about 60 pages or so in and i can't get enough of it. I had bought the movie skipped parts on dvd and i love it, i want to buy the book but can't find it anywhere, i picked this up to continue the story and i am happy i did. can't wait to get further into the book.
