Book Review: Waterloo, Waterloo

I was given this book by Endeavor Press and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
I loved this book. The characters were so realistic, crazy and outrageous. The story is tragic, funny and filled with pathos. The satirical humor can be found throughout and will have the reader laughing as they read.
The story is told from each person's inner voice. The story looks at ordinary life with a family that is anything but perfect. If looking close, the readers may find themselves or those of others in the characters.
This is a great read and I highly recommend it.

Book Review: How to Push Through

 How to Push Through is the fourth book in a series. In this book Anna Maria von Doderer has to tell a therapy patient news about a diagnosis she made many years ago.

The patient, Chrissie, is not looking forward to this visit either. She needs to tell her about Egon. Egon was abandoned during the second world war and grew as a wild child who brought many others together in different ways.

This story is told in the individual voices. I found the story to be written in a way that kept me interested, even though I had not read the previous books. The characters and the story line were woven together in a way that I felt I was living the lives of the characters I read about. I loved the descriptions that were in place as it allowed me to imagine scenes deeply.

I would recommend the reader try the other books in the series, but if they do not mind this, it is an excellent book by a talented writer.
