Explanation Toward Books God-Shaped Hole
When I was twelve, a fortune teller told me that my one true love would die young and leave me all alone. Everyone said she was a fraud, that she was just making it up. I'd really like to know why the hell a person would make up a thing like that. Written with the snap, glitter and wit of The Girl's Guide to Hunting and Fishing, God-Shaped Hole is a memorable, poignant love story that will leave you weeping with laughter. It is told in the wry, vulnerable voice of Beatrice "Trixie" Jordan who replies to a personal ad, "If your intentions are pure I am seeking a friend for the end of the world." In doing so, she meets Jacob Grace, a charming, effervescent thirty-something writer, a free spirit who is a passionate seeker of life. He possesses his own turn of phrase and ways of thinking and feeling that dissonantly harmonize with Trixie's off-center vision as they roller coaster through the joys and furies of their wrenching romance. Along the way they try to come to terms with the hurt brought about by their distant fathers who, in different ways, forsook them. This story will prove so touching you will rush to share it with a friend or loved one or even a stranger.List Books To God-Shaped Hole

I have a new religion and it's called Tiffaniedebartoloism.This is what my copy of God Shaped Hole looks like. Please overlook the fact that I've physically highlighted the book. I know it's a sacrilegious act for some. My constant use of e-readers with their highlighting, bookmarking and note-jotting capabilities is to blame. I would have had swirly notes of my thoughts all over the pages had I not planned to lend this book but I figured, it's too good not to share. Anyway, the point of that4 depressing stars.****Review completed August 8, 2013 "() I think we are God. We all have that inside of us. And I believe we go on after we've turned to dust. Our souls, I mean."()"A search. We're all searching for something to fill up what I like to call that big God-shaped hole in our souls. Some people use alcohol, or sex, or their children, or food, or money, or music, or heroin. A lot of people even use the concept of God itself. ()" I have decided to not review God-Shaped Hole. The
4 ~ 4.5 StarsIm in awe on how truly gifted of a writer Tiffanie DeBartolo actually is. How to Kill a Rock Star is one of my all-time favorite reads but, I was apprehensive about the synopsis for this story. I knew the writing would be too wonderful to skip any story put out by this author so I jumped in. When I was twelve, a fortune teller told me that my one true love would die young and leave me all alone. Even though the synopsis threatened soul mate separation, I knew the journey would be
Don't waste your time with fear.. Fear won't keep you safe from being hurt. took it's sweet time to really get started but once it did this story was hard to let go. Beatrice and Jacob were not perfect but they were perfect for each other. Came close to break off but soon realized that it's foolish to hurt the person you love because it makes you more sad and feel worse.A bittersweet love story.
5+++++ STARS "Sometimes the most consequential moments in my life originate from a state of completely witless human auto-pilot." Jacob places this personal add at the newspaper where he works: Beatrice answers his add on whim... It's fate bringing these two Siamese soul lovers together and what a couple they are. "I feel like we grew in the same womb or something. Like we've been connected from the beginning by blood and veins. Siamese soul lovers..." Beatrice, the narrator just doesn't
Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/ The warning signs were shining like G.D. beacons that I would not enjoy God-Shaped Hole. #1 The blurb by Dave Eggers told me to expect a main character who was a 27-year old female Holden Caulfield. There are two types of people in this world those who love Holden Caulfield and those who hate him. I DESPISE HOLDEN CAULFIELD.#2 The blurb was by DAVE EGGERS. YUCK.#3 The foreward claimed the inspiration for this story came from Jeff
Frickin' book....Frickin' tearjerker...and...frickin' cliffhanger.DON'T read this book...or do...yes do...it's soooo good!Ok rant over...here's the review:Beatrice is tired of the same ol' same ol' dating scene so when she sees an ad that says: "If you're intentions are pure I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world."Well, her interests are peaked and she just can't resist answering it. That's how she meets Jacob Grace. No news flash that I love emotional books but this book killed me just
