Summary: What a hillarious belly laugh!
Comment: I thought this was a great funny read and I can just see Diane Keaton as Georgia, Meg Ryan as Eve and Lisa Kudrow as Maddy. Its not very often that I read a book and am laughing down to the bottom of my belly - I think that the way Delia Ephron deals with the lives of this family through the eyes of Eve was great fun and I really recommend this book, I hope she writes more adult fiction and I really look forward to the movie.

Summary: Sometimes, It Is Necessary To Disconnect....
Comment: This has to be one of the best books I've ever read. I've read it many times and the quality of Delia's writing is superb. From Eve's troubles with her father, to Georgia's nationally known magazine, to Maddy's consistent wrong choices, this is a book full of non-stop laughter and fun. Sometimes we get so caught up in work, that we're always on the phone and don't take the time to realize that we're missing the most important things in our lives. Sometimes, it is necessary to disconnect. This book has a great moral and you won't be able to put it down. Don't forget to check out the movie (Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton, Lisa Kudrow, Walter Matthau). It's one of the best!

Summary: Still, it's 10x better than the movie
Comment: Nora Ephron is brilliant and super-productive. While Hanging Up is not her best, it's well worth the read (and sure a bazillion times better than the sappy movie). The setup is difficult and conflicted: three daughters trying to cope in their various ways with the senility and death of their father. The girls/women are very different, and much of the book is heavy on telephone dialogue as they stay in touch with each other and try to make sense of their past: divorce, abandonment by their mother, alcoholism, and the eventual dementia of their father. All that phone conversation, however, gets tiresome, and the daughters suffer from an excess of vapidity and other irritating qualities. Still, it's pretty good.
