Just Beginning . . .
HMMM ... not quite sure what I think about the book yet. I really like Jacob in the nursing home. He is funny in his crabby ways! His perspectives on his family, the nursing home, his failing body, and the love of his life - in retrospect - are so interesting and heartbreaking, too. I feel almost cheated with the death in the Prologue, though. I wish I didn't have any clue that August was going to meet this demise later in the novel! Do you think this would've been good to have as a shocker later in the book?

I agree, i think a shocker near the end of the book would have been an interesting twist;a more 'aha' moment. But it was a nice set up and small taste for wanting to read more.
ReplyDeleteNot really. I thought it was an extremely impressive way to grab the readers attention! And it especially grabbed mine! I flew through this book and there was still plenty of aha moments throughout it. :)
