The Good Luck Of Right Now (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Мъж на средна възраст с проблеми в емоционалното развитие, възрастно бившо отче-алкохолик с биполярно разстройство, което изживява криза на вярата, контрольор в кино със синдрома на Турет и библиотекарка, която вярва, че е била отвлечена от извънземни. Плюс Ричърд Гиър (да, актьорът!), макар и зад кадър. Това е пъстрата компания събрана от Матю Куик в тази малка книжка с непреводимо на български заглавие (отново!) и странна епистоларна форма на повествование.Посегнах към нея леко предубедена, не вярвах, че ще успее дори да се доближи до любимия ми "Наръчник на оптимиста", но Куик успя да ме омагьоса. Отново. Определено съм фен. :) The Good Luck of Right Now, published and created by Matthew Quick was basically in my opinion, s masterpiece and I find it quite enjoyable. The main character of the story, Bartholomew Neil is a 38 year old man, living with his mother until she had passed away. The man who his mother had fell in love with, was basically his father from long ago. Bartholomew discovered a Free Tibet from Richard Gere in his mother's room. Gathering help from his Guidance Counselor, Wendy. Bartholomew writes the man a series of letters talking about random things such as Religion, Women, Television but all he wanted the man to know is that he wanted his own familyNow, time for my review. The thing I liked about this book is that it was different from what I had been reading for the past several years. Being a romance/high school novelist and reader of those types of books, this one was quite different. The main character Bartholomew had set out to meet Richard Gere and assemble a family of his own since Bart's mother said that he looked just like him from many years ago. The thing I disliked in this book is that everything was vague in his letters, he'd just sent Richard random things about religion and Politics and I couldn't really figure it out.Now, for the readers. If you love comedy, and you look a mix of drama which heartbreaks you, then this book is for you. As I read this, I shed silent tears because it was a good book. Since I write and type short stories about love, comedy, and trying to find someone I looked up to this book and I highly recommend this book, just for you. I give this book a 9/10 and I think others should give it a try, think of it as Titanic, except this isn't a high grossing film.

Found this a frustrating book to read, just didn't connect with the characters.

Quirky! How could I not like a book whose love interest is a "Girlbrarian"?
