Review # 1 was written on 2014-11-14 00:00:00 Stephen Spence A pink book cover? Oh, no! This must be Chick Lit. However, if there is such a thing as Chick Lit, then there also must be Dick Lit. Pulitzer-winning author Michael Chabon - "The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Clay," "Wonder Boys," "Moonglow" - has proposed that Literary Fiction itself is a genre. I propose that rather than pre-judge a book by its cover or suggest that it has limited appeal because it falls into a specific category of fiction, we set aside our predilections and prejudices and consider Kathryn Trueblood's novel for what it is. "The Baby Lottery" is a story of how the complexities of contemporary life impact our relationships - friendships, romances, marriages - and how each of us responds to the stresses that bind us together and pull us apart. Trueblood's story deals with universal life themes. And she presents it through intimate views into the lives of her characters, and engaging prose. Highly recommended. gregoryreads .....

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-28 00:00:00 Alan Armstrong So many typos and punctuation errors that it was annoying (Cheerio's? Pushs? Really? I checked a few times to make sure I didn't receive an advance copy). The author or editor didn't understand how to use quotation marks or commas correctly, either. As an editor, this kills me. Oh, and the book was pretty boring, too. No depth whatsoever. But honestly, the grammatical errors and typos were so distracting that even if it had a plot, wouldn't have noticed.
