Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

However, if I just wanted a lesson in depression there would be no need to read a book. I read to travel to other places, other view points, other narratives other than my own. Real life is depressing in and of itself. This book never swings back, never gives you the good of it all. Girl dies, life goes on without her. Isn't that just the way it is? In this book the soul of the girl goes on as a voyeur without much purpose to her hanging around. The story feels hollow. Then, at the end in the author's notes we find out this is really about her unresolved feelings about her real life Uncle Bob. Goodness, instead of channeling such anger in a book, perhaps you should have told everyone in the first place instead of carrying it around with you for so many years. I'm glad this was a first read, most certainly will be my last read with this author.
