Book Review of Where'd You Go, Bernadette

Where'd You Go, Bernadette
reviewed on + 15 more book reviews


I'm always looking for an unusual and clever book to suggest to my book club, and this was it. It is a bit of a strange story told by Bee, The young daughter of a brilliant mother and father, in the form of emails, letters, reports, emails and texts. It takes place in Seattle, Washington. Another reason I liked it because I also have lived there. I liked the satirical comments about the area And Microsoft. The characters are a bit unusual and it took a little getting used to. But I liked the author's observations about Seattle, private school silliness, neighbors, women in architecture, and Canadians that added zest to the story. The book kept me engrossed, because it is zany and it will have you laughing all the way through.
