I was really excited when I received this book to read because the premise sounded like a great read and the cover looked amazing.

I felt very let down by this story. This is the story of Jesse, who has died at a young age of a he 2. This is the story of Jesse, who has died at a young age of a heart condition, sending his best friend, his girlfriend, and three cousins on an all-expenses paid trip through Europe. It starts out as a mystery as to why Jesse used his college fund to pay for this trip, but it is because he unfortunately passed away.

These five people are closes to Jesse and all are dealing with his death differently and this trip is to bring them closer together and help them deal with the death of a loved one. Sounds sweet and endearing, right? I had a tough time remembering the reason for the story because I struggled to connect with any of the characters and found myself not caring. Sure, they were all grieving in their own way over the loss of someone dear to them, but most of them were rude and standoffish.

She was very selfish and saw this trip not as a gift but as a burden. The others seemed to forget why they were going and saw it as a free trip to Europe. Jesse was the only character that my heart went out to and he was not even alive during the book. The story started out very slow and did not ramp up quickly at all. I did not find the trip to be that exciting or mysterious, rather a series of events placed together. I know I may be the black sheep with this book and be on the one person who did not rate it high, but this just did not work for me.

That is why I rated this book 2 out of 5 stars. Dec 01, Elizabeth rated it it was ok. Jesse Serrano is just an average boy who has a liking in playing the game "Would you rather. He's written this journal of his thoughts and feelings and gives it to his cousin Cal. Months have past a Jesse has sadly past away. During the summer, brother and sister, Trevor and Cal get an envelope in the mail with the address of where their cousin Jesse used to live.

Inside are two plane tickets to E Jesse Serrano is just an average boy who has a liking in playing the game "Would you rather. Inside are two plane tickets to Europe. They're not the only ones who got plane tickets, Jesse's best friend Matt and Jesse's girlfriend Lillian, and his other cousin Ben. It's Jesse's plan for all of them to get together and become friends.

It's a rough start for the cousins, friend,and girlfriend to get along. When they get to Europe, their only question is, "Why would Jesse send them here? Jesse wants them to find his mother. His mother left him at a very young age and never returned to him. Jesse told Lillian one day to find his mother and she promised to him she would find her. Now the kids our on the hunt for what looks like a dead end. They want to give up, they really do. No one is getting along, and everyone just wants to go home.

Now the question is, did they find his mother? I thought this book was good but it wasn't my favorite. This book confused me at times because I had know idea what was going on. The characters were hard to get a hold on and the only one I really felt connected to was Cal. Other than not knowing what was going on, the parts I did understand I thought were very good. It made me want to go to Europe with my best friends and see all the sights.

I did like that in the end the cousins did somewhat get along and they lived Jesse's dying wish. The book did have a lot of ups and downs but in the end they all somewhat smoothed out. I would suggest this book to readers who really like to question throughout the book. The book had adventure to it, and arguments throughout the cousins. If you really get into a sense of adventure and the characters learning to find themselves.

The book was good but it didn't wow me. Jesse knew that the hole in his heart would cut his life short and in a final wish, he gives a group made up of his cousins, his best friend, and his girlfriend a quest that involves a trip to Europe and a seemingly impossible task. Motherhood plays a very important role in this story, or at least the idealistic idea of motherhood, through the many representations of Mary that are referenced throughout the book. It was interesting the way the different depictions of Mary were described and discussed by the characters. The details and conversations about art and art history were truly fascinating and although I am no expert, I enjoyed that part of the book very much.

Jesse is gone, but we still hear his voice and get to know him through the notebooks he left to one of his cousins. His memory and presence is still very much with the group. As you would imagine, there are accidents and mishaps during their travels that make the story entertaining and even hilarious, at times. Since we get to peek into the head of each character, I really felt like I knew this group of people and that made the story more meaningful for me. I cared about all of the characters and I wanted them to find the answers they were looking for, not just for Jesse, but for themselves, too.

The Land of 10, Madonnas was unique and beautifully written. It was about the processing of grief, yes, but it also illustrated how hard it can be to embrace the life you have when you miss someone. It was a book that kept me thinking long after I finished reading it and it definitely deserves a spot on your reading list. Her words flow together, and you get wrapped up in them, and don't realize how much time has gone by. The way she writes emotion is amazing.

You can feel the words as you read them. I really enjoyed the trip aspect of this book. Going on a quest to find someone. But maybe they can find each other by the end. They experience all these things that they would have loved to experience with Jesse, but sometimes that's not how things work out. Sometimes you have only those with you to lean on, and the memory of a loved one is a great thing even if they can't be there. A lot of the time they are almost unlikable. They have ways they respond to problems that had me puzzled, and they seemed so selfish at times.

This was usually Lillian and Cal. They are guarded and don't want to share their experiences and times with Jesse. Ben needs to learn to let go of control. He doesn't have to be the grown up all the time. He should sit back and enjoy the moment. Trevor needs to grow up a little. But I loved his carefree attitude. He takes everything as it comes and tries to bring out the positives in any situation. Even though I didn't click with the characters at all times, I found times where I adored them.

Coping with loss takes a different form in each and every person, and we come through it in our own way. Apr 20, Tawney rated it liked it. Books are a great resource to go places we are most likely not to go. They take us across the world on an adventure with the protagonist.

KIRKUS REVIEW

The Land of 10, Madonnas is one of those books. Jesse Serrano dies young from a heart condition and leaves expense paid trips through Europe for his friends. But also to help t Books are a great resource to go places we are most likely not to go. But also to help them cope with his death. I loved the multiple view points and the short flashbacks. Lillian and Cal seemed so selfish acting like this trip was a burden. I just wanted to slap them. Their friend just died! They seemed to forget it was all for Jesse, who by far was my favorite character.

We still get to know him through his journals, which is a great way to access that knowledge for the reader. I did love the fact we were given a chance to know each character and their connection with Jesse. Each one had a different experience but in the end they were drawn together by their grief.

Madonna (mūziķe)

Hattemer did a wonderful job at inserting the reader into a vivid descriptive trip. There were humorous parts to keep the story lighthearted and emotional parts on loss to connect with the characters. Should you read it?

Jan 15, ReadWriteLove28 rated it did not like it Shelves: I went into this book thinking that it would be a light contemporary about a couple of kids who were going on a journey who were all connected to one guy named Jesse. Other than that, I knew nothing about the book. Sometimes going in blind is really fun!

It ended up getting better within the next 20 pages or so. At that point I was far enough in the book that I decided officially not to I went into this book thinking that it would be a light contemporary about a couple of kids who were going on a journey who were all connected to one guy named Jesse. After all, I thought it was just a book that had a slow start but would eventually get better. A couple of pages later, it went downhill again.

I started wishing that I had DNFed the book, but I was far enough along at this point that I wanted to find out the ending. I didn't relate to any of the characters whatsoever. They were all pretty flat and 1 dimensional, which is never fun. They rarely ever surprised me, which got very boring. Unfortunately nothing stood out to me about this book. It was just boring and annoying. Overall I give this book 1. I do not recommend this book. Jul 22, Lori Pure Imagination rated it liked it. Kate Hattemer certainly has a way with words. The Land of 10, Madonnas is told from alternating points of view.

All the characters were very unique. They all had their own set of problems to deal with. They were a tiny bit infuriating at times. The travel aspects of the story were fantastic. She writes with such emotion and eloquence. Dec 05, Abbey rated it it was ok Shelves: This book wasn't what I expected and that kind of disappointed me. I was really excited to have this really awesome road trip book that showed how all the character got to heal and get a sense of closure but that wasn't what I got.

The 5 main characters of this book were sent on this trip to find Jesse's mother. It was he dying wish. He gave them not much information and it was an impossible task and all of the characters were getting caught up in this hunt that nothing was really happening. Also, This book wasn't what I expected and that kind of disappointed me. Also, all of the characters had some problem that was a secret. Something that most of them didn't confront. We, as the reader, only got to know about them because every character had POV chapters.

I just found this book to be confusing. I did enjoy all the scenery and some of the humor was quite funny. Mar 24, Caitlen rated it it was ok Shelves: Which is a shame because I was really looking forward to this book. It started out pulling at my heartstrings, but after that it just got really confusing with all the multiple perspectives and flashbacks and when it wasn't confusing it was very boring. And I didn't feel the emotion in the characters like I should have. Instead I just kept getting exasperated when I realized we were in the midst of yet another flashback.

Mar 18, Brittany rated it it was ok Shelves: I thought the premise of this had great potential to be a perfect summer read, but it didn't meet expectations. The multiple viewpoints and short, weird flashbacks just didn't work for me. The most interesting character to me was the one that was already dead - I wish we had heard more of his story. My favorite thing ever was a made-up website called "Plagueslist" - like Craigslist, but for people with unknown diseases.

Clever and hilarious and I wish we had seen more ideas like this throughout I thought the premise of this had great potential to be a perfect summer read, but it didn't meet expectations. Clever and hilarious and I wish we had seen more ideas like this throughout the story. Sep 26, Jaycee Bond rated it did not like it Shelves: DNF page I was so excited for this book but it was so disappointing, I don't even know what to rate it.

Essentially, jesse is sick and dies, but before that he buys his fairness tickets to Europe with a notebook. He's that character who's deep because no one else understands his struggle. His friends go to Europe, argue literally all the time! Apr 14, Cee rated it it was ok. Didn't feel like they connected with each other to give me that friendship-bond. Their adventure through Europe was boring, and they kept getting into the same conversations and arguments that didn't move the plot forward.

So much felt like filler. Apr 25, Anna rated it it was ok.
