Title: IRRESPONSIBLE
Product review: "Stephen Lives" is a misnomer. Stephen doesn't live. Stephen is dead. He hung himself from a tree not far from his house.Stephen does live, however, in the mind of his mother, who wrote this book, but claims "Stephen" dictated the words to her from the afterlife.If read, and then re-read, several things become very apparant. The biggest thing is that I belive the author is trying to come to terms with her son's suicide by beliving he is still with her, that death is painless, that the afterlife is wonderful and that his death was not her fault.Grief and guilt will do strange things to a person.I do not reccomend this book as it depicts Stephen's death as a triumph- and seems to be geared for parents with depressed children as a book to pass on.That, I believe, would be a mistake.
