Title: Recommend, with reservations
Product review: This book is just okay. I finished it in two sittings just so I could be free to move on to something more stimulating. If you enjoy tears, sappiness, and emotion-fests in general, by all means read this book. This book is definitely in the teen-girl fiction school of pop psychology. If you want two dimensional characters and supernatural smarm, look no further. There are some redeeming qualities: Harvey is a creepy and well-drawn force. Also, Sebold's idea that there is not a strict separation between the living and the dead is pretty profound and worth more consideration.
