Summary: Disappointing
Comment: What a disappointing book especially after reading The Accidental Tourist, which I liked. I admired the character Ira for his love and loyalty to Maggie, but both are losers who let life just happen to them. Ira is a depressed man and Maggie needs to get a life. She was so annoying and I was so disappointed by the end. The details just went on and on and I kept hoping it would get better. In the end, I felt so sorry for Fiona and Leroy. Maggie is cruel and selfish. I was appalled that she continued preparing dinner when Fiona just found out that not only Jesse didn't give a hoot about her soap box, he was seeing someone else, all going on in front of her granddaughter.

Summary: Soooo special
Comment: Ann Tyler specializes in opposites and what attracts them to each other. The bulk of Breathing Lessons takes place during a car ride from Maryland to Pennsylvania that a middle-age couple, bound together by who-knows-what, take to attend a funeral. Most of Tyler's characters are misfits or eccentrics. In Breathing Lessons, she focuses on a couple so average as to be boring, and nothing much happens to them by the end of the trip/book. But we, her readers, come to understand the serious business of relationships and the ties that bind. Hilarious in spots, as all of her books are, it is the poignant insights into the moments that show this couple in all their everyday uniqueness that we remember long after closing the book.

Summary: Most annoying book I ever remember reading...
Comment: This must be the most annoying book I can ever remember reading. The lead character Maggie just made me feel like slapping her! So at least in that respect the book did provoke an emotional reaction. I forced myself to finish the book and now wonder why...
