Title: Liked the idea...didn't like the book
Review: I picked up this book for two reasons. The first was the concept. Who wouldn't prefer a grand adventure to remember a loved one instead of a traditional funeral. Sounded like fun. The second reason was all the glowing reviews posted everywhere. I consider myself in the demographics marketed for this book; however, I couldn't finish it. The writing style is way too dramatic for me; too many metaphors and symbolisms. I could barely stomach the simplistic and unrealistic situations. I finally threw in the towel when the women are stranded in an airport terminal and their conversation regarding funerals is picked up by the entire terminal and everyone in it shares a funeral story...and then they all dance!
Is the review positive or negative?
