Title: Boldness of the attack!
Product review: As an often disappointed reader of modern fiction I can say this book was far from disappointing.The author launches into a tale that is both grim and tender with an amazing certainty. The prose is beautiful and the telling of the story is bold-- confident.There were some parts in the narrative that might be weaknesses, might be me. I never really understood Susie's heaven. It seemed melancholy and like a slow kind of torture. It was more like hell. You can see the ones you love, see their struggles more clearly than when you were alive but there is nothing you can do for them.The last hundred pages unraveled just a bit. I found myself wondering at all the far reaching threads that kept being pulled into the narrative. The ending had the feel that it was time to wrap things up. It didn't have the confidence or certainty of the first 200 pages. It's a subtle drop off, though.Overall, it's one heck of a read.
