I just finished The Invisible Life Of Addie LaRue. I give it 3 stars for the idea and sheer scope of it. It is a wonderful title. And that cover is gorgeous seen in person. It is well-written, and not a bad book at all, BUT, the author and her editor appear to never have heard, "show don't tell." For all of the hundreds of years Addie lived, and the hundreds of pages, you know no more about the world around her than what she mentioned in passing.

I often wish that some little books with more obscure authors that are really really good would get the hype this book got.
