Eric, the most innocent of the Perryweiss kids, ultimately sees this the most clearly: " More and more, it seemed, everyone, himself included, was a little bit of both. Apr 26, Ericka Lutz rated it it was amazing. Delicious summer and other seasons reading. I never went to summer camp, but this book brought me deep into the experience, with characters who I became attached to, and writing that sang. I loved it! May 18, Crystal King rated it it was amazing Shelves: literary. What a fun summer read although a winter read would certainly give you a touch of summer!
This book took me back to the nostalgia of camp although with a touch of good adult drama. I felt very connected to the characters and the story and stayed up late reading on more than one night!
May 15, Emily rated it really liked it. I'm a long time reader of Jane Roper's blog and was thrilled to see she had written a novel. Great book, well-written, perfect for the summer. I highly recommend! May 11, Jamie Kline rated it liked it. Jun 04, Maggie61 rated it it was amazing Shelves: readmaggiesfor I read about this book long before I obtained a copy of it, waited rather anxiously for it as the topic of a summer camp is close to my heart.
Eden Lake is a camp owned by Carol and Clay founded in the late 60's. Their three children knew no other life as children, they lived at the camp and spent the summers as campers there. Carol and Clay get divorced, Clay remains at the camp with his new wife Gail and the children have all grown up and left the camp except Eric who wants to remain behind the I read about this book long before I obtained a copy of it, waited rather anxiously for it as the topic of a summer camp is close to my heart. Carol and Clay get divorced, Clay remains at the camp with his new wife Gail and the children have all grown up and left the camp except Eric who wants to remain behind the scenes.
When Clay and Gail are killed in a plane crash right before summer season, the three as well as Gail's daughter take to running the camp as per usual. I loved reading all the camp stories and references, songs and games and things most of us would remember from summer camp. I spent 10 summers of my life at summer camp in Muskoka, and that place is home to me and has made me the person I am today.
Many of the friendships formed there 30 years ago are still in my life and every year now I go up to the camp for a weekend in September for an alumni weekend. The reference to the candlelight ceremony was very touching as that's something that the alumni weekend has done. While the summer camp is the root of the story, you are involved in the lives of all three children, Abe, Jude and Eric as well as Aura, Gail's daughter.
There are secrets and emotions, all of them have some kind of turmoil going on in their lives and this is weaved into the story as they all return to a life they previously lived. Loved it. Jun 17, Angela rated it liked it. I won this book in a blog giveaway late last summer. Eden Lake is a dramatic book about siblings Abe, Jude, and Eric who come back to run their family's summer camp after the untimely death of their father.
Each adult child is at different points in their life, but all seem to be stuck in their own rut going nowhere. The interactions at the camp help them all to eventually find their way to something new. What I liked- The setting.

I've never been to summer camp myself. I enjoyed the I won this book in a blog giveaway late last summer. I enjoyed the descriptions of camp and the way students and camp councilors interacted. A few of the character relationships were interesting. Abe's relationship with Aura was unexpected as was his mother's relationship with a long lost beau.
What I didn't like- I put this book down after reading about pages because I couldn't get into it. The build up of each character and the setting took too long. I recently picked the book back up. It took another pages for the characters to really develop. Under normal circumstances, I would not give a book pages to get my attention. I'm still left feeling as if there was something missing.
Just as I started to feel a small connection to the characters the book ended. I personally enjoy strong women characters. I didn't feel any of the women in this book fit that description. Overall, I felt the book was ok. I'm glad I finished. Just not enough that I will be recommending this book to others or rereading it. Aug 17, Laura rated it liked it. This was a very long book. I really liked the beginning.

The book was told by different voices, in a good way, I got a lot out of hearing the story from different perspectives. It seemed to be filled with some unnecessary drama with people not at the camp bosses and boyfriends. My biggest criticism was how Carol told Eric about his father. That went against everything we knew about her as a person. It was good to see some character development, I liked Eric best.

The children all seemed to This was a very long book. The children all seemed to grieve, but I am not sure how they were really able to run the camp all summer, on the heels of their parents death. I thought there would be more things like Jeremy's dad and the pierced ear incident. The last chapter was a fitting way to end the story. This book was recommended to me by fellow Good Reads friend and writer Derek Gentry. Jun 13, Catherine Hurst rated it liked it. I enjoyed this book about four marginally dysfunctional young adults whose parents founded an idealistic summer camp in Maine in their hippie years.
Now these folks have to wrestle with running the camp when they haven't had a lot of success sticking with jobs or relationships in the past. In addition they have to handle some blows in their own families when a tragedy happens and when old transgressions become new information. I found the story to be compelling, but the characters mildly I enjoyed this book about four marginally dysfunctional young adults whose parents founded an idealistic summer camp in Maine in their hippie years.
I found the story to be compelling, but the characters mildly unsatisfying though it may just be my age--I have this problem with many something characters in contemporary fiction! A good summer read! Feb 06, Melissa Acuna rated it really liked it. Eden Lake is a wonderful debut I'm pretty sure that this is a first novel? It's primarily a character study of three siblings and a step-sister, set in Maine at a summer camp. As a Mainer, I greatly appreciated the realistic depiction of Maine; it was accurate, non-patronizing and that's not always the case of novels set in the state we don't put tarter sauce on lobster rolls, for instance.
The Perryweiss children are complex characters, each Eden Lake is a wonderful debut I'm pretty sure that this is a first novel?

The Perryweiss children are complex characters, each sympathetic and flawed, but carefully drawn and convincingly rendered. Aug 25, Tracyj rated it really liked it. I really liked this story told in alternating voices of three siblings forced to run a summer camp for their recently deceased father. I felt like I spent the summer with them at sleep away camp and watched as they came to terms with their past and took ownership of their futures.
A great summer read. Oct 14, Deirdre rated it liked it Shelves: vacation-beach-reads , fiction , maine. Good and easy read about a family trying to pick up the pieces after tragedy. The story is told alternately from three siblings' point of view. I like how this kept me feeling invested in each of their stories. May 27, Jen Wolfe rated it really liked it.
The ultimate summer camp experience. Not only do you get to spend a summer with these characters, but you also get to see into their past and get a glimpse of their possible futures.
While there are some rollicking good moments that would challenge a soap opera plot, there are also some really thoughtful reflections on how the world has changed since the seventies. Jun 26, Joanna Christensen rated it really liked it. I've never been to sleep away summer camp before but Jane Roper made me feel like I could've been there - loved the characters - especially the realness of them all - Great story, laugh out loud funny parts and scenes that made your heart ache for the characters.
I definitely recommend this book. Oct 29, Pamela Ferguson rated it liked it. A very likable book - summer camp, three siblings, complicated love, loss of parents, divorce, etc. But the thread throughout the book is good - nuture our youth so they grow up ready to handle their adulthood. A great summer read! Jun 04, Christina Gonzalez rated it really liked it. Really good story.
