The Interruption of Everything
Author: Terry McMillan
To say that 45-year-old Marilyn Grimes is suffering from a midlife crisis is to understate. Her three children have left the nest; her boring engineer husband, Leon, is in career crisis and apparently philandering; her mother may be developing Alzheimer's; and Marilyn herself is searching for new frontiers or a place to leap.

Even though it deals with some of the same issues, this book feels a lot different from "Waiting to Exhale." Enjoyable and worth reading.

Funny, but also some sad moments, however the characters were flat and not fleshed out. This writer relies on dialogue mostly, without rich descriptions. Had to scan a good portion of the unending banal dialogue and slowed for the more important sections.

I loved the characters and the storyline. I hated for the story to end, it's like I was part of it all and now they're all gone... Great book!

Found some of the language distasteful but most of the content was realistic.

I wanted to really really like this book. It didn't suck, but it seemed repetitive in places and "too pat" in others. Don't get me wrong, it was a fun read, but it was too scattered - I think it could have used another pass through the editor to fix some of the weirdness in it.

BUT.... the story was good, a woman going through a mid-life crisis while her husband decides he's going to go through one too, and always her friends by her side. I only hope I have friends that love me as much as hers when I start acting crazy (yeah, okay, shut up those that know me).

Bottom line is that this would be a perfect book to read on vacation or when you needed something you could easily pick up and put down and not put too much thought into it. There are a few parts that are just heartbreaking though (her niece and nephew). So, if you cry easily, get a hanky.
