I like the-novel-in-stories as a form (I wrote one of those suckers myself), and it's a great way to paint a portrait of a community. The small town of Crosby, Maine comes across as brutal--there's no shortage of disease, adultery and suicide--but somehow not bleak, thanks to the kindness of the narrative voice. Although some of the characters run together, Olive herself is unforgettable: a cranky, smart-but-not-always-wise old lady whom the author refrains from cute-ifying. If you're looking for stories that go beyond coming-of-age, first love and other teen territory, this book is a good place to start.
It's pretty interesting so far. When you think of Albert Einstein you usually thing Math or Science. I didn't know he thought and wrote so much about other stuff.
There were so many typos and grammatical errors, I wanted to copyedit it, not read it.
