Title: For adolescents only
Product review: Although summer brings on "light reading" madness, and often some real pleasure to even the most serious readers (of which I am one), those lazy hours in the sun are far better spent on a snooze than in reading this feather of a book. The idea is dopey, the telling of the story clumsy, and the plot thoroughly unbelievable. I finished it for a book discussion group, but wished that I hadn't. It is one thing to present an adolescent's view of the world and the afterlife for what it is, quite another to present it as a serious framework for a story about a family's tragedy. There are much better books being published today - thank heaven!
