I'm glad it was so short because I agree about the clichéd characters. I don't think that detracts from how the book made me feel. It was an emotional read. I also think the length helped with the impact. I would have tired of the characters if it were a long, drawn out story. Instead I read it in one sitting, appreciating how the stories of the characters connected and did not ultimately conclude in the way I thought it would. I recommend this book, though I would also warn readers that it is not a fairy tale or a light read. It was nice to have a book about two people that focuses on something other than pure romance.Christienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1214401809446305406.post-56681055738207010672010-05-21T19:16:11.806-04:002010-05-21T19:16:11.806-04:00Well, that's really rather unfortunate to hear...Well, that's really rather unfortunate to hear.
