The Anxiety of Everyday Objects (ISBN 0142003700)

Ended a reading-drought for me...:
Every once in a while I go through a reading drought. My shelves look uninspired and I'm tired of the same-old-same-old but not energetic enough to try something completely different. These droughts generally happen once a year or so, and last for a few weeks, and will always be ended by a phenomenal book. I picked this one up a few years ago on a work trip at an airport bookstore, and devoured it during my flight. The writing is divine, the characters are so real, and the story is wonderful. Highly recommended!

Couldn't put it down!:
Well-written, intriguing unraveling of the perfect legal secretary from Connecticut. Really good. I stayed up late reading it and I don't regret it. Now, that is a successful book IMHO!

One of my Favorites:
This is one of my favorite books. Especially as an artist working in a not so artistic job. When I picked it up about a year ago, I assumed it was a standard chicklit book, but I was really pleasantly suprised. It's a simple, pretty little book. Something I find myself reading again when I'm having a rough week.

Beautiful, whimsical writing:
The Anxiety of Everyday Objects is beautifully written with charisma and charm evident in every word on the page. Ms. Sheehan writes with care, and tells her story with wonderfully clever word use. Her style of writing complements her characters, and makes this book an extremely satisfying read. The book is easy to digest, even when dealing with deeply dramatic issues, and never gets tied down too far in needless detail.

BORING!:
I was hesitant to read this book- but after seeing the good reviews it got online- I decided to give it a try. I did NOT like this book. It was so boring- I could not get into it at all and i regret the time I spent to read it. Other people liked it , but it was not for me. I found the plot and writing to be very unimaginative and slow. Even a really bad chick lit book can hold my attention better than this!
