2 out of 5 stars They were friends?   June 19, 2005
I must have read something by Meg Wolitzer that prompted me to seek out this book- though I can't remember what. This 10-year old book was weak, and with so many references to HIV/AIDS, rather dated. The characters lacked any real development or, well, character. By the end of the book, I really didn't care if they remained friends (or why they would- they had nothing in common to be "friends", and nothing going on to really call a "life".)
Girlfriends turning 30 and wonder what life is about? Not a whole lot for these three mediocre, ho-hummers.
I don't know what the point was with this prosaic book-- there was nothing new, nothing meaningful, nothing deep or even mildly interesting. Pass.



4 out of 5 stars Where have you gone Meg Wolitzer?   September 11, 1998
I picked up a copy of `Friends for Life' a few years ago after hearing Ms. Wolitzer interviewed on NPR's `Fresh Air.' It's a terrific read, one that really resonated with this child of suburbia. Ever since then I've been waiting for the author's encore. How about it, Meg?


5 out of 5 stars fantastic summer reading   June 13, 1998
Just what the doctor ordered to start off the summer. . . while I can't say this is a literary masterpiece, it is definitely entertaining, enjoyable, and a fast read. Treat yourself!
