Title: Almost lives up to the hype
Product review: There's no way any book could live up to the hype this book has had in the past couple of months. That said, it IS a really good book. Ms. Sebold has created a believable heaven for Susie, and the ways the family members cope with grief feel true. A book that begins with the [way it does] doesn't seem like something you could call a "happy" book, and I guess it's not. But it is a hopeful book. It's about loss, sadness, healing and love. I think you'll enjoy it.
