Summary: She paints a wonderful tale once again.
Comment: Celestial Navigation is definitely one of my favorite books by Anne Tyler. With her extrordinary talent, she has become the master of modern contemporary writers. There is no one whose books I'd rather find myself reading than hers. Celestial Navigation is simply touching; the character of Jeremy Pauling is moving in his awkward attempt at gaining the love of the woman he so greatly admires. However, don't be fooled. Tyler's stories aren't entirely about love; they are about life and the strength needed to get past the everyday struggles that we all undoubtably face. Anne Tyler's novels are like fantastic jewels, both rare and precious. I only hope that in the remaining books I have yet to read by Tyler, that I find the joy I have found thus far.
Rating: 5
Summary: Touching story filled with real characters & amazing insight
Comment: Though the story is quiet, with little or no action, Tyler has some of the sharpest and deepest inights into human behavior and thoughts that I have ever read. Each chapter is written in the voice of a different character, and each character is absolutely complete, unique and so real. The story is of people getting by, finding their way through their lives, and the writing is magical. Each character, though troubled, is easy to identify with in their own ways. The result is a touching, detailed, and extremely truthful book.
Rating: 5
Summary: Multiple POV used to tell this story
Comment: Anne Tyler is the Mistress of the Quirky Character, and Celestial Navigation is populated with nothing other than odd balls, the losers of life, those who just can't make it in the real world. They're all weird, not a redeemingly ordinary one among them. Tyler helps her readers realize that happiness doesn't mean the same thing to all people, and who are we to judge another person's paths in the seeking process?
This is a book of tenderness, compassion, and ultimately, contentment.
