Some of the redeeming qualities of this book are the true value of friendship, which is represented through all of the characters in this book. It also teaches us the importance of honesty. If Lucky was honest with Bridgette about her feelings instead of just running away, it would have saved her a lot of heartache, and the feelings of one of her best friends, Miles. This book also encourages the use of your imagination to decide what lucky’s higher power is, one of my favorite aspects of this book.…

The book I am reading is Where the Heart Is by Billie Letts. I have read to the part that Novalee has been living at Walmart for the past month, because her boyfriend dumped her there and she had no where else to go. The last chapter that I read was Chapter six, this chapter is about a birthday dinner that Forney the library guy had for her. This book is very interesting, I am enjoying a lot. It is so be superticious about the number seven, but still be lucky enough to live at a Walmart for so long and not get cought, not only that but she has met many different kind of folks around that town, many people that seem to be a sign to her life. I think after all that she has been trough so far I am thinking she may be luck after all. In the Story Novalee’s boyfriend is a jerk, he is not the ideal boyfriend anyone would want to have. It seems that she really was in love with Willy Jack, but he couriously had no interest for her, I am guessing he manipulated her just like he did with Jolene in New Mexico; and after Novelee got pregnant he got tired of her and decided to leave her there at walmart. After Willy Jack got arrested in New Mexico, I was happy. I really thought he was going to get away with him doing something like that twp this young girls.…

I personally like how although the story is about lovers, it does not include any sappy romantic parts at all. It instead focuses on a psychopathic sort of love, whereby violence and blood replaces kisses and flowers. We rarely see this point of view…
At first, though, I thought the book was a satire with a mystery theme (especially with a bulldog in a carriage), but at its heart, there is a deeper, unexpected, story about finding love in unexpected places. That story began to unwind itself with Peter Luce and continued…
