Hennepin County Library, audio CDs, 3.5 hours
read by Laurel Merlington
The title caught my attention, since the Alexander book of childhood fame is one of my favorites. This one is about Viorst and her husband hosting their adult son, his wife, and their three young children for three months while their house is being remodeled. I'm not sure if it was her writing or the reader's narration, but this came across mostly as a whiny diatribe of a person who has control issues. Parts of it were funny (and there were times I could see myself in her perspective), but it simply wasn't as enjoyable as I anticipated. I definitely "felt" for her family members!
