Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I read Gloria while on my honeymoon, and could not put it down. When not reading it, I found myself thinking about Gloria and her experiences, tribulations, and revelations. Gloria is an intense, complex and amazing character. As I read this book, I found myself identifying with her in many ways, and trying to stop her from certain decisions she would come to regret as well. She is a brilliant, compassionate young woman who grows and develops more and more as you turn the pages.
Maillard's talent is indisputable -- he weaves in poetry and literature emphasizing Gloria's search for life, truth and insight through poetry.
The other characters in this book areequally as complex -- and amazingly developed. Primarily, people weave in and out of Gloria's life and are all an integral part of who she is and how she develops as a person. The reader watches her growth and development as she interacts with various people differently, and more assertively throughout the book.
Words cannot do justice to the beauty, poeticism, and intelligence mastered in this novel. Already, I believe I will read it again, and will definitely recommend it highly.
