The Gilda Stories Post 4

I feel that the ending to the Gilda stories was poor. In the last seventy years more happened to Gilda than all the previous years before. The pace of the events were rapid, and did not seem to fit the rest of the book. I did, however, like some of the predictions that Jewelle Gomez put in the future.

Overall, I enjoyed the book. It made you think about what life really means and how to make the most of it. It had a few lessons that i feel are applicable for all ages. It taught me to be careful what you wish for. Even though Gilda never wished for immortality, I feel it applies more to the readers. This book is also a good example of human realtionships and how we make choices to treat others.
