Thanks, Aloi! I adore Anne Tyler…and I’ve liked or loved everything (so far) she’s written. Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant is a classic. But I really loved Saint Maybe

I love your header (obviously i havent been bloghopping much).

This was my first Anne Tyler read, and I really enjoyed it. Now I am going through your other Tyler reviews to figure out what next to read .. any suggestions?

Myrthe: I love Anne Tyler…but I know a lot of readers who just think she is okay. I haven’t yet read Digging to America…but I will!

I only read Digging to America, but I quite liked it. I wouldn’t mind reading more by Anne Tyler, though she didn’t make it to my must-read list. I guess it’d depend on what the book is about whether I’d take it up or not.

Andi: This is a good Tyler book to start with!

Teddy: I have yet to read Digging to America – but it’s in my stack so I eventually WILL read it! Hope you like this one.

I liked Digging to America, I gave it a 3/5. I was thinking of trying another Tyler book so I added this to my TBR.

I haven’t read any of Tyler’s stuff, but I do happen to have this one on the TBR! Nice review.

Stephanie: I liked Saint Maybe – but I wouldn’t say that is her best work at all. This one really appealed to me…

I should probably give Anne Tyler another chance. I read Saint Maybe about 2 years ago…..and really hated it. I hated the writing, and most of all, I hated her preaching to me. It just rubbed me the wrong way. Because of that, I’ve been reluctant to pick up another book by her. I think I may have to try again!
