I’d like to start this post by noting that I’m the
person that reads the last chapter first.
This is not always the case.
If the book is too slow, I like to read the last chapter or last few
pages of the book. I want the end
to be dramatically different from the beginning, because that tells me the
journey will be exciting. If the
ending is similar to the beginning of the book, I’m not interested in reading
it. I need more development in the
middle.
I read, I Only Mark the Hours that Shine by
Edith Bouvier Beale, because I'm a Grey Gardens fan. I would
recommend it to the fans. Just
keep in mind it is written by an 11 year-old girl and is boring at times. Little Edie's journal does give you a
sweet insight to her extravagant lifestyle and enduring love for her mother. I do want to leave you with the last sentence
written in her journal for the year 1929.
It won’t give anything away, but I think it really captures the essence
of Edie…
