Summary: Look at this Debut Novel!
Comment: I was browsing the "new fiction" table at the front of a local DC bookshop when I stumbled across an autographed copy of "Look at Me" by Lauren Porosoff Mitchell. I finished reading it last night. Bravo to Ms. Mitchell for her excellent first novel. Remarkably written by a young women who had recently received her law degree, Mitchell describes Dana, a character struggling with herself. Mitchell paints the picture of a woman with two faces: The first face appears as she ravages innocent men night after night, lusting after the feeling of power she achieves with each notch on her bedpost. The second face appears as her character develops...she shows her feminine vulnerability as she falls for a one-night-stand, creating a fantasy love affair through letters, dreams, and thoughts.

But, thought frustrated with Dana, you can't help but relate to her on some level.

Lauren Porosoff Mitchell, good work! Looking forward to your second novel.....

Now where can I find those necklaces at Eastern Market?

Summary: For the Reveler, the Luminary
Comment: I loved this book. Mitchell's story will most likely appeal to people at a certain point in life: early 20's, world upside down, engaging in reckless self-discovery. Of course it's self-indulgent. Who isn't at that age. But we look for other voices to resonate with our own and assure us we aren't doing this alone.

It's definitely not for the sensible types who like black and white and neat little packages. There's a fluidity to her writing, an ebbing and flowing that I found refreshing and stimulating. She doesn't draw conclusions or spell out moral lessons. She states the facts of her life, bare as bone, and uses poetic imagery as a vehicle to express her experiences.

If you've worn loneliness like a familiar t-shirt rather than a disabling condition, if you've entertained compulsive behaviour because you can't contain your rage, if you've seen your world in rhythyms and colors rather than facts and achievements, then read Look at Me and revel in all it's philosophical wanderings, fluid language and raw emotion.

Summary: Good book Lauren!
Comment: When i first read the review of this Book i didnt think it would be a good book. Then i bought the book at a local book store and began reading. After the first few pages i was sucked in by Laurens great use of imagery. I would recommend this book to everyone and you should buy this book. If you dont you are missing out on an exellent book and ignore all the other reviews because this book is great!!!!
