Word It's Wednesday - Labor Day

Thought we might shake things up a bit for Word it's Wedneday and go into a territory never seen before.  Did you see the little extra in that title?  Labor Day.  When I say Labor Day I am talking about the day of the labor that creates a little bundle of joy.  Because everything up to the little gracing your world really is not something anyone wants to hear about.  Ok well maybe someone out there does, but not this girl.

Back on topic here.  Labor Day.  Not the holiday either.  It does relate to it.  Alright enough dodging around here.  Today's post is my little opinion on the book "Labor Day".

This is a story of single mother and son who end up bringing in an escaped prisoner over Labor day weekend.  Over this weekend, the mother rediscovers love and happiness.  the teenage boy discovers growing up.   The book is written thru the eyes of the teenage boy as he reflects back on the days of their imprisonment over the Labor Day Weekend.

Here is a snippet of the book: http://parade.condenast.com/252591/joycemaynard/read-an-excerpt-from-joyce-maynards-labor-day/

This book is different then most books I would generally lean towards.  I thought the book was well written.  The author was very descriptive in the details hence capturing you and sucking you into the story and emotions that were developing.  It was also a very quick read.  Aspects of the story were clearly written without being explicit in nature.  My opinion on this book is that it is definelty worth the read.  No more details for you.

Now to my dismay, the movie based on the book is no longer in the theater.  I shall wait patiently until it comes out on dvd.  For some reason I have a sneaking suspicion that it will be release on or around Labor day (poop).

While the world waits for that day....go grab the book already for a glorious spring or summer read.
