Excellent book by Ann Arbor author submitted by clmcdl on January 28, 2015, 11:47am Thought-provoking, well-written, with characters you'll care about. Highly recommended.

sappy, cliche submitted by 21621031390949 on August 12, 2016, 12:45pm Oh, ick. I don't know who recommended this to me or why I picked it up at the library, but this is a lousy book. I'm interested in the passage of dying, coping with loss, so I went into this hoping to learn something. Instead, I found a sappy, cliched novel and sophomoric writing. Very disappointing.

Full disclosure: I only made it through Part I - 82 pages - before I skipped to the end to skim the conclusion. As I'd feared, it was predictable. One loses, one doesn't. Surprise, surprise.
