Summary: not for everyone
Comment: but hey, what is?
I just finished this book an hour ago. The last time I read a book was 3 years ago, but that was only for my English class. I've attempted to read various books since then, but have gotten bored with all of them before getting to the third chapter.
"Like the Red Panda" was EXACTLY what I needed at this time in my life.
I recommend it to anyone who has ever thought about suicide (not nesseccarily as something to do, just something to think about) and those of us who are humored and at the same time bothered daily by the transparency of this world and the people in it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book in every way. The structure was easy to understand but not boring, and the detailed character description affected me the most.
Anyway, this is my first book review and it probably didn't say much, but this is a smart book and smart people will enjoy it. :)

Summary: great book
Comment: This book is very difficult to describe. Because it's in journal format, Stella's mind wanders in several directions and she writes it all down. It's hard to keep up with what's actually going in the story. I had to stop and re-read serveral pages. I'm actually going to re-read the whole book just in case I missed something.
On the plus side, the character development is superb. You can actually feel what Stella is feeling. You understand her reactions and her sarcastic comments. She is troubled and slowly the author takes you deeper and deeper into her troubled mind.
You will find yourself asking "what is she (Stella) talking about?" You have to think about it hard in order for it to make sense.

Summary: Brilliant
Comment: Reading the description of this book, along with its dreary premise, made me want to run screaming from the Amazon page. But something kept drawing me back to this book and I found myself purchasing it. I usually stick with a bestseller, like LIFE OF PI or BARK OF THE DOGWOOD, but thought I would give this new novel a try. The title didn't hurt any either as I was curious to find out what it meant. Suffuce it to say that I have NOT been disappointed. LIKE THE RED PANDA is a truly beautiful, disturbing, funny, heart-felt book and the author of this remarkable journey should be proud of her work. With insight into the human condition and a cast of characters that are at once believable and yet almost over the top, Seigel has given us a wonderfuly warped portrait of suburbia, much like Perrotta's LITTLE CHILDREN or McCrae's THE BARK OF THE DOGWOOD. Both humorous and disturbing, this stellar novel can't help but pick up steam. Kudos to Seigel on this brilliant and wonderfully crated novel.
