Good story, solid life lessons delivered masterfully at the right moments. This contains some of those perfect phrasings over which readers drool and writers labor. Well done on that account. Quality illustration of how much family dynamics vary within geographical and cultural boundaries. Friendship across traditional peer groups and redemption are themes. For me, the end wrapped up too tidily, unless as a foreigner to Fairbanks, I should know that everyone ends up on the same street corner at the same moment eventually. I purchased this because our local public High School librarian chose this book as a reading club selection. I’m 42 and like to read books that are suggested to my children.
SPOILER ALERT: Storyline contains situations of teen sexuality and pregnancy, child and spouse abuse. My 13 year old 8th grader started reading and became alarmed enough to stop reading by page 25. I felt these issues were not treated with excessive attention or details, nor used gratuitously. They were critical in developing the author’s theme. By contrast, stable, happy, functioning families and individuals are also described.

I bought this book in order to donate it to a local high school with a severely under-funded library, and wanted to read it first to check the content. I just finished it and am astounded. This is an absolutely spectacular piece of writing! Moving back and forth between the characters was effective in keeping interest, and I think the author did it successfully. Her use of metaphor, however, was what truly hooked me. I smiled often as I conjured up the images she so graciously provided, and was left feeling both satiated and ready for more!

Audiobook The Smell of Other People’s Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock
Bonnie-Sue Hitchcocks The Smell of Other Peoples Houses was a finalist in a prestigious award competition, and thus it received many accolades. I agree that the book is beautifully written, and at times, that writing is lyrical. She vividly evokes the lives of Alaskan natives in the 1970s. Her book, told from multiple viewpoints, all comes together tidily by the end, and for some, that ending should be quite satisfying indeed. I did feel that the characters seemed much older than their physical ages, but I see how growing up in the environment they grow up in would make one come of age faster than a mid-American middle-class teen of that era. My problem with the noveland I stress it is my problemis I never grew to care about these characters enough for them to pull at my heartstrings as the author wants them to. I reiterate this is my problem because Im sure countless other readers would disagree with me. And that tidy ending? I didnt believe the extreme serendipity that occurred. Characters from vastly different areas and eras seem to magically all meet at the end. I truly dont think this is spoiler, for Hitchcock leads us to this, so we know it will happen, just maybe not when, where, or how. I recommend this book as a journey into a culture that few of us know much about, and I recommend it also to readers who are not as hard-hearted as I.

Audio The Smell of Other People’s Houses narrated by Erin Tripp Jorjeana Marie Karissa Vacker Robbie Daymond
This novel was beautifully written and even though it was only 225 pages the characters had a lot of depth. I choked up a bit towards the end and that hardly ever happens. This is definitely worth reading and though I think it’s possible that it wrapped up too nicely I was still able to enjoy it.
I am not even sure who my favorite character was. The book is told from four different perspectives but each character seems to get enough time so that their story doesn’t seem incomplete.
I hope to read more by this author in the future.
I do wish that this book had been longer but not because the story wasn’t done well or needed elaboration. I just did not want the story to end!

Personally, I was able to find a bit of myself in each of the narrators. It’s funny how the individual stories of each girl allowed me to recall elements of my youth. I enjoyed reading and learning about ways of life most of us have never been exposed to but can still appreciate and relate to. I so enjoyed watching each of the girls experience some of those pivotal moments that become the foundation of who we are as adults. Young adults reading it will definitely relate to the intensity of emotion and the importance of friendship with your peers. Adults will relate to those life lessons learned as a consequence of youthful mistakes and how important it is to forgive your family for being human and love them anyway.
I loved the glimpse of life on a fishing boat and summers spent at fish camp. I hope many young adults will read this book and develop an interest in exploring a world beyond television, video games and the internet…maybe get a hankering to go to Alaska for a summer – do some fishing and watch for orca whales.
