Evaluate Of Books The Mermaid Chair

This was just the summer tale I needed about a girl returning home, having a total breakdown while dealing with her mothers breakdown and confronting all of her demons at once. Oh yeah, there is also an affair with a monk and mermaids. I love the scene where she makes an oath to herself in a sort of marriage ceremony promising to love herself first and most of all. I think we can all take a tip from her on that one ☝🧜♀

Dear Sue,What were you thinking? I dont want to be mean, but The Mermaid Chair isnt your best work. Your first novel, The Secret Life of Bees was wonderful full of imagery and emotion. I was expecting more of your magic, but The Mermaid Chair is just another novel about a middle-aged woman in a rut. You explore some compelling ideas: marriage, infidelity, betrayal, guilt, forgiveness, grief and faith, but you dont really add anything to that oh-so-told story. You wrap the issues in a story so

Well this bored me to tears. Empty pointless story. It had slight potential but it seemed the author was not skilled enough to get anywhere near pulling it off. It was so bad that it made me wonder if a ghostwriter was used for The Secret Life of Bees, I just can't fathom how these are written by the same person.

Not nearly as inspirational or moving as author's first novel, Secret Life of Bees. Although VERY well written the subject matter was not pleasing and almost distasteful.

In his case he was questioning his faith, his existence, everything and was reaching out to anything that might pull him back to Life. In the woman's case, she was simply bored and unfulfilled in her marriage and was searching for self



I did not like this book. Thats not entirely accurate. I loved the religious themes that ran through this book, I loved the stories of growing up on an island, I loved the Mermaid aspect of this story.So why the rating of did not like? Im really tired of stories where the lead character decides they need to drastically change their life. Then they run off through either some decision they consciously make or through some twist of fate (as in this case) to find themselves. While finding

When I saw that this book was on the goodreads "unpopular" shelve, I decided to write a review on why I liked this book. I have a thing about sticking up for an underdog. Probably the most stated reason that this book is unpopular is because readers compare and contrast it to the author's previous award winning work, The Secret Life of Bees. I think that people who loved the Secret Life must have anticipated that Monk Kidd's follow up would somehow cater to the same audience, and then they were
