Customer Reviews of All American Dream Dolls
A different kind of read I just finished reading this book. It was okay. I usually don't read books by males but I thought I would give him a try. The book talked about the relationships between three women. All of the women had some deep issues that they needed to work on. I think this would be a good book for a mother and daughter to read. It was shocked by how well Mr. Haynes portrayed the three women. The male characters in the book were not a major major part of the book. Usually men have a better male point of view than a woman's. The title is actually what the book is all about. A pageant so if you are someone that doesn't like pageants, don't read this book. Overall, I would reccommend this book. I will continue to give Mr. Haynes my support.
a subtle, humorous story
as i sat in my bed, munching on junk food and reading this book, i kept looking around wondering where the hidden camera was! david haynes aptly captures some of the moods women experience with his depiction of deneen. she is a well drawn character that i could totally identify with.
as with his other books, haynes creates a subtle theme that, if you allow it, will slowly blend into your mind. i find myself thinking about some of the themes that he talks about, such as learning to love self or buying into commercial concepts of beauty. his story craftily weaves the theme within the plot so well that you don't realize that your view point may have been changed.
the theme and the subject will not bat you over the head. haynes employs a light touch in his writing style, so if you are looking for a formula type of story, then you won't find it here. instead, read about the characters, read about their development and let the characters reveal to you the connecting thread of their story.
all of this and a wry humor, too. mr. haynes should be lauded for his skill in developing interesting characters and weaving their lives within an engaging and subtle theme, as well as his consistent use of humor.
Pure garbage
I found this to be a waste. If i would have saw a bad review (which it deserved i would have saved my money). Don't waste your time buy another book.
