 Still Live with Chickens November 5, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I enjoyed the book. It combined my love for chickens, divorce plans from my husband, and my teenage daughter as personal links to the author's story. Well written overall, and it is always comforting to read a book that has such strong connections to your life.

I bought this book because I have pet chickens. The story was great and I really related to the chicken stories.
 A spoiled, snob's life with chickens October 2, 2007

After reading reviews for this book I expected to be moved and inspired. Instead, I was angry and insulted on behalf of all women. Catherine is obviously very wealthy and well-connected and comes out well in her divorce, seeing as how she doesn't need to work (other than directing some contractors to fix up her lovely house by the sea). She quits her part-time job as an aide in a wealthy school because a voice tells her, "Don't go in there!" As an inner city school teacher now for 15 years who has always supported herself, I would love to call it quits but that isn't an option because I would starve. Ms. Goldhammer insults all women who do it all and then some everyday and don't have "hundreds of people" behind their possible book, money for an agent and lots of connections in high places. If this isn't bad enough, Ms. Goldhammer continuously hammers us at every turn with more boasts and brags about her mediocre daughter. Rarely has a book left me so angry. I guess the only good thing about this book is it made me realize that next to Catherine Goldhammer, I must be Superwoman!

This is a cute, beach-type book. Doesn't take much concentration to read it - though the author tries to insert a few insights here and there. It is interesting enough to hold concentration, and there are a few smiles along the way....

Since I am from the Boston area, I really wanted to read this book. It is beautiful. What a lovely simple story of a real woman and her daughter. It was fast and smooth reading. I would love to see a sequel! The writing reminded me of a writer named Gladys Tabor who wrote similar stories about 50 years ago. Read this wonderful book and enjoy!
