Loved it, but couldn't follow well.,
By U2pop "u2pop" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Phases of the Moon (Paperback)
I guess its the fact that im only 21 that I couldn't follow Phases of the Moon as I could some of Watt's other novels. The story is written from an excellent vantage point. Rather than it being told like a story from a third, invisible person, its written as though the character in the story is speaking to you directly. Although written about the fifties I was able to follow throughout the book Glenda's absolutly heartwarming personality. A good woman who did the best she could for her son. Yet another excellent Julia Watts novel.

blown away,
By U2pop "u2pop" (Atlanta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Phases of the Moon (Paperback)
I love it! This is the second book I picked up by Julia Watts and she hasn't let me down yet. Being a gay male some might say its kind of odd to be reading a lesbian genre book but this one is for everyone. I love the way Ms Watt's crafts the characters. I think everyone can relate to Lilly, being put into a tough situation and doing what you can to get out. I can't wait for her next one.

Another Appalachian classic,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Phases of the Moon (Paperback)
We take classes at college to have our eyes opened and Julia Watts made my Appalachian lit class worth its tuition. Phases of the Moon is her "serious piece of literature" I guess as it seems to have won awards and stuff. It certainly deserves them. Glenda Mooney is a 50s rockabilly artist and a lesbian working class woman. She is forced to cope with the tenuousness of stardom when she has a child by the King of Rock, the pseudonymous Xagus Peavely (I love Watts's names, I might write a paper about them).As with all of Watts's books it features great humor (the funniest woman writing today?) and subtly drawn characterizations (though she kills her Little Richard character too soon). I wouldn't start here, but you'll want them all anyway. 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

Glenda Mooney...whew...,
By "ladyhoops" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Phases of the Moon (Paperback)
After I read Piece of my Heart, i had to find another Julia Watts book. This book is about finding ones self through love, music, friendships, and pain. Glenda Mooney is one fiesty person who has no idea about life beyond the coal mines, but finds out that it isn't what she dreamed it would be...or is it? The true friendships with some of the characters is what made this book a true romance.

A classic book about the early days of rock and roll.,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Phases of the Moon (Paperback)
This book had been recommended to me and I didn't think I'd like it, but it strikes me as one of the best written and most accurate books about the women who made rockabilly music in the 1950s. I thought it was beautifully done and Glenda Mooney is one of the most real characters in all of recent literature. I can't wait to read Watts's other books.
