In Search of Lucy by Lia Fairchild

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I really liked this book. I thought it was well written and the characters were very likable and I was able to relate to their situation. It really made me think that if something happened to my sister would I be willing to give her a kidney, no questions asked. And my answer is: I'm not sure. We don't get along, we haven't gotten along for a very long time. Probably 25 years or so, we haven't seen eye to eye. She has made some very poor decisions in her life that I can't support and I really struggled with this question. Could I give my kidney to her?? It made me wonder if she would do the same for me, and my answer is "I don't know." I really hope I don't ever need to know the answer to that question.



I really, truly liked this story and I had to think about my review for awhile. I love books that touch me in a personal way and makes me think about my own life and existence. I will probably struggle with this question of giving my kidney to my sister for a long while, but hopefully I will never have to face it head on. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. Two thumbs up for me!!!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book was just okay for me. It was interesting in parts and really boring in others. I was hoping for something more, I guess. Glad I'm done with it. It felt like it went on forever!!!



I gave it three stars out of five because it was so boring and dry in some parts but the parts of the book about his daughter, Martha were way more interesting and I was wishing the book was more about her instead of her father, Ambassador Dodd.



Overall, it was an okay book. Glad I read it, but like I said, glad to be done with it too.

Very well written book, interesting topic and characters, but I hate to say, one of the most depressing story I have read in a long time. I am glad I am finished so I can move on to a more cheery subject matter.
