Comments on: #71 ~ Last Night at the Lobster http://literatehousewife.com/2008/05/71-last-night-at-the-lobster/ Mon, 21 May 2012 11:43:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: #388 ~ The Odds http://literatehousewife.com/2008/05/71-last-night-at-the-lobster/comment-page-1/#comment-19352 #388 ~ The Odds Fri, 20 Jan 2012 05:01:33 +0000 http://literatehousewife.wordpress.com/?p=316#comment-19352 [...] Last Night at the Lobster remains my favorite O’Nan novel. It may always be because it was my first. Unlike Songs for the Missing, The Odds evoked the same emotion. It left me amazed that I would find a story about a common occurrence and feel as though the outcome very much was about me. The Odds is classic O’Nan. Within an intimate situation fraught with the stress of imminent loss, he shines a light on a small spot on the map and makes it feel universal. The more O’Nan I read, the more I seriously consider making appreciating his work a requirement for friendship.

Songs feels completely different- to me it doesn't even seem like the same author wrote both books. It's good ,but there are just no similarities at all, IMO. Hi Jennifer, I’m glad you liked it!!

We read The Monsters of Templeton and it was marvelous! I hope that this book will be of the same caliber. If Last Night at the Lobster is any indication, it should be. I really liked the letter he wrote to be sent out with the books. He seems like an interesting person himself. I was part of the first First Look club.
