I used all the ink in my high lighters underlining important parts I was like someone possessed, I devoured that book in less than a week! It did not seem like it was about me though, like some readers say it has that effect. The things I really identified with are the heart break and losing faith in god, losing loved ones...I was in tears through I'd say half the book! I mean that in a good way, as I tend to hold in my emotions. also there are a lot of parts I do not understand so when I get the time I will definitely have to read it again. I feel that reading gooberz has made me a better person though.

Wow! In only a week? Awesome! Each time you read it, you will notice lots of different things.

I stayed up very late reading every night because I could not put the book down. I will make it my goal to read it again, but first I have to read sun signs

It is about everything. It is about an Aries woman who learns about the world and Things. Thats about as good as I can do on a description. It is such a good book!! Give it a read sometime.

Wow, I don't know what I'd do if my library didn't have an astrology section! Yes, I guess i checked out the 10th copy of it. Probably lots of people wrote in requests for Gooberz so the library got more copies.

Hi! After years of waiting for Gooberz, someone gave it to me as a Christmas present two years ago.
I finished it feeling utterly depressed & more frustrated than ever - poor book's been thrown at the wall several times.
I cried buckets...not out of sadness but pure anger, because it brought back so many memories that I didn't want to remember, all in glorious technicolour, digitally remastered & fully interactive. Cathartic I suppose....and the timing could not have been more apt.
Funny, in my reply to this post I WAS going to write that Gooberz had left me depressed etc. but that I hadn't "locked into" the story at all, that I didn't think it had any message or any relevance for me, I didn't "get it".
Gooberz just seemed to stonewall me completely, answering one question with ten more questions, a riddle I couldn't fathom.
I felt like my brain had been fried & then coated in marmalade and cotton-wool, as I read it again & again looking for the point I continually seemed to miss, thrust back in time in my memories to my darkest hours.

And suddenly, just now while writing this, I "got it". Gooberz reflected back to me my own experiences, my own fears and nightmares.... Oh, I get it, I get it!!!

Durrr!!!
