Rating  - I wish I could give it less than 1 star.
This book is about nothing. There is no point, or whatever little there is of it is very well hidden in the nonsense. I bought it based on the good reviews on Amazon, thinking that 300+ reviews could not be wrong. Bad mistake.Waste of time and money.
Rating - My love for this book ^_^
This book is twenty years old. This book is supposed to be good. Somehow it's a bestseller? This book is terrible! It does not have good descriptions, it conveys things poorly and over all a quarter of the story is driving! Do not read unless you like bad literature, enjoy. o_o

Rating  - A Remarkable Guide to Life
Taylor is a high spirited and strong willed girl whose whole life has been lead in Kentucky. Taylor had three goals in her life: not to get pregnant, to leave Pittman County, and to change her name. She ended up buying a '55 Volkswagen bug and leaving Pittman County behind. She ends up with the name Taylor which she got from the first town she stopped in. While on the desolate plains of Oklahoma she has a two year old Cherokee child placed into her care. Later on Taylor finds out the girl was physically abused and named the child Turtle after the way she clings on to everything like a snapping turtle. Taylor ends up in Tucson, Arizona where she meets up with a tough strange lady named Mattie who deals with illegal immigrants, a paranoid and self conscious mother Lou Ann who thinks there is nothing safe in the world, and Esparza and Esperanza, a Guatemalan couple, that help Taylor find out who she really is. Taylor is lead through the hardships and wonders of life with her friends. They help her through life in the way that the rhizobia help the bean trees through life.
