It can be interesting to see why a person selected a particular book to read, although I'm not sure my reasons are always of interest to anyone other than me and perhaps the person who may have recommended it. :-)<BR/><BR/>Lotus - Thank you. I thought the author did a good job with the narration--keeping it more literary than fantastical (not that there would be anything wrong with that, but it might have defeated the purpose of this particular book). <BR/><BR/>Gentle Reader - I think it is worth reading. I realized now after rereading my review that someone might think this book is about depression--and it's not, not really. That was just a part of the story that most stood out for me. The whole depression story line is actually subtle. I think it's my own experiences that bring it to the forefront for me.<BR/><BR/>Stephanie - I am glad I followed Kookiejar's lead and read this one. I hope you enjoy it too!<BR/><BR/>Kookie - It's probably just me overanalyzing. :-) Funny how I don't do that with everything I read, but with others I do. <BR/><BR/>Iliana - Thank you!

I am sure that as the story unravels the reasons why he did what he did makes for very interesting reading. I like also that you took so much away from the book..I love it when a book does that to me. Thank you for the recommendation, I will have to look for it.Lotus Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02081192215823615529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-40558811855056366562007-06-05T05:39:00.000-07:002007-06-05T05:39:00.000-07:00I like that you add "Reasons for reading" to your ...I like that you add "Reasons for reading" to your review.

Worth the time, I think. :-)<BR/><BR/>Kookie - With depression, a person isn't always thinking rationally and so his actions wouldn't necessarily be impacted by reason and logical and empathetic thought. I also can't help but wonder how much of it is hindsight. Because he committed suicide, was he more focused on the suicides of those around him (shaped, colored and interpreted by life experiences and feelings in hindsight as memories often are) or were his recollections true in their form? I don't know if that makes any sense at all, but it does in my head. LOL I doubt the author ever intended a reader to try and delve that deeply into his character. Haha For me, it just raised some interesting thoughts.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-58073086645086756742007-06-04T10:49:00.000-07:002007-06-04T10:49:00.000-07:00Your review was interesting, Kitty.
