"Thoughts of Joy..." can be found here.
The story was very shallow and repetitious with no direction or point and the characters were boring and unimpressive. Thankfully, I was able to accomplish many other tasks while listening to it. If it wasn’t a BOiPod, I may have abandoned it; there wouldn't have been anything compelling enough to keep me reading. I like to be either entertained or informed (or both) when reading or listening to a book, unfortunately this one didn’t deliver in either arena.

I'm undecided on reading this one - I haven't heard a lot of great things about it, but I love Anne Tyler. I'll at least wait until it comes out in soft cover :)
I was able to pick up a copy of this at a used book sale, so if I end up not liking it (like my friend Joy) than I won't be too brokenhearted. I'll keep this review in mind.
I just finished reading this one yesterday. For me, it was a quick, enjoyable read. Not the best of Anne Tyler, but still a good way to pass a few hours.
