My Year with the Stork Club

This work of fiction was very funny - I found myself laughing all the way through the book. However, it's funny to me because I could relate to the story. I could relate because I am a parent and a spouse, experiencing the chaos of running a household, the tryanny of advice all around pressuring one to be a "supermom" of enlightened parenting and proprietor of the organic kitchen. And of course, I relate to the precarious nature of marriage, the fallibility of the humans around us. I think it helped me a little because I caught myself putting my own life in persepctive, and appreciating the fact that I'm mostly happy. It has nearly a fairy tale ending, sort of. I would recommend this book to anyone who would like a chance to stop and laugh over the trials and tribulations of marriage and parenthood of these times - it's nice over a cup of tea. The reason I didn't give it five stars is that I prefer to give 5 stars to books that I can't put down. This one took a little work to get into, and it was little hard to keep the characters straight. That might just be my reading style though.
