I wanted to highlight entire sections. I enjoyed the feeling it gave me of living in someone else’s brain for a while. Wise, funny, astute and utterly human. 0 Comment Report abuse MSJ.

Remarkable. In my experience there are two types of "reader": people who really do enjoy reading; and people who are merely consumers, quickly ingesting one shiny cover after another. This, for all the praise its getting not just in award nomination but for being 'hilarious', 'witty' and, 'the fact that this isn't just one of the outstanding books of 2019, it's one of the outstanding books of the century, so far.' Politically, I have nothing against Trump name-calling or 'simple' observations spun into over-thought astute commentary but Peter Sellers did it as Chance. So, it's both innovative and challenging. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. This is a wonderful extensive (long) stream of consciousness on the life, during the life, of a young woman, mother of four, professional baker and self professed worrier and coward. It's a tome and it's a challenge, but it's funny and delightful and human. The fact that this book is basically in one sentence does tend to mean, I find, that you have to be in the right 'state of mind' to read it, but once you catch that 'state' and have a few hours to spare at a time (it's not a 'few pages at a time' kind of book) I think people would really enjoy this, the fact I could never finish 'Infinite Jest' by the late David Foster Wallace did make me slightly apprehensive at even starting this book (As I hate NOT finishing a book, whatever it is, I even ploughed through a Mills and Boon three-books-in-one for 'kicks and giggles' once ((yes there is a void in my life)) ) but I thought I'd give it a go, as I do like to 'whomp!'
Ducks, Newburyport is extremely contemporary, a time capsule of Trump’s America. This was a finalist for a Booker Prize last year and included in the Jury citation according to the book cover was "Unstoppable...like nothing you've ever read before."

I gave it two hours of my life that I will never get back.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 September 2019 Not a book for everyone, but delightful for someone like me!Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2019 To casually dismiss such a swathe of work seemed either designed to shock or to be willfully ignorant. Your recently viewed items and featured recommendations Indisputably so, and yet that feels like inadequate praise for what Lucy Ellmann is doing here. It’s mesmerising, original, realistic, intelligent, observant, and occasionally amusing. And as far as the story goes: sorry: it didn't work for me.

I admit up front that I picked up this book with some bias after reading an interview with the author where, when asked what books she thought were overrated her response was 'all crime fiction': a sweeping statement that both annoyed and saddened me to read. Dark. Nonetheless, there is a parallel narrative of Nature and humanity that communicates something essential and timeless that can connect us as easily as it can break us.

If I could rate it zero, I would! Formally speaking, yes, it's a thousand pages; it is mostly one, hypotaxic sentence; it takes place almost entirely inside a forty-something housewife's head; and it all happens within mostly one day. For me, the length of the book was not an issue, but rather it helped clench my decision to purchase an electronic rather than a paper version of the book.
