[a:Tim Sandlin|5920|Tim Sandlin|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1236556053p2/5920.jpg] returns to the colorful characters he developed in his GroVont Trilogy, and fans of those books will welcome the opportunity to again immerse themselves in Sandlin's Wyoming wit. That said, if you've not read Sandlin before, begin instead with his hilarious debut, [b:Sex and Sunsets|125153|Sex and Sunsets|Tim Sandlin|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171895826s/125153.jpg|1379908], heads and shoulders above this book. [full review] ( ) I tried to read this book a few times but just could not get into it..My husband did read it though and found it to be very quirky and said it was pretty good. So it must just be me then...I asked my husband what he thought... He said that there was a lot of humor in it, especially Lydia. There are also a lot of different characters in the book that tell their own story, but the main character, he felt was the old man, Oly. Any fans of Carl Hiaasen will enjoy this book. Tim Sandlin also wrote Social Blunders and Skipped Parts among others. I am giving this book 4 stars, not because I read it but my husband, Tom, thought it was a good story. I don't feel it is fair to the author to give it one star just because I could not read it. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

HTML: LYDIA, Tim Sandlin's acclaimed return to his GroVont characters, was called "Uplifting...immensely satisfying" by the New York Times Book Review and a "gem of a novel as audacious as it is sentimental" in a starred Booklist review. Managing the Virgin Birth Home for Unwed Mothers means the women in Sam Callahan's life keep his world interesting. But it's his family members that really take the cake. His daughter may be having a nervous breakdown, and his mother's just out of prison for attempting to poison the president's dog. And when they hit the road with a geriatric, an adoptive son trying to discover his parentage, and an enraged psychopath on their tails, all hell may break loose. And you thought your family was strange... Fifteen years ago, Tim Sandlin concluded his "GroVont" trilogy, a string of books that included a New York Times Notable Book and earned such accolades as "funny and compelling" (LA Times), "zany" (Cosmo), and "dazzling and moving" (New York Times). But some characters call a writer back. Welcome to the ribald, rollicking, and sometimes peculiar world of Tim Sandlin's GroVont, Wyoming, where family is always paramount, no matter how strange.
