has anyone read the accidental tourist?

[2shoes]

if so is it any good?

[AbbeyA]

Have you read anything else by Anne Tyler? I like all her books.

[Olihan]

It is good, in an odd way - all the characters are oddballs but likeable too. I enjoyed it and found it an easy read.

[fin42]

I loved it.

[2shoes]

thanks I will give it a go.

[sfxmum]

Anne Tyler is generally very good

[Hassled]

I love Ann Tyler novels - they're completely absorbing but never too taxing.

[MrsTiddles]

I like some better than others. I think the good ones are:

Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant
Ladder of Years
Back when we were grownups
Breathing Lessons

[AbbeyA]

I think my favourite is Ladder of Years.

[MrsBumblebee]

I'm not actually a big fan of Anne Tyler, but I really liked The Accidental Tourist.

[donnie]

love all her stuff but especially dinner at the homesick restaurant.

[MaryAnnSingleton]

[taipo]

I love Anne Tyler but I haven't read this one. Would it be good holiday reading?

[MaryAnnSingleton]
