Book Review of The Almost Moon

The Almost Moon
The Almost Moon
Author: Alice Sebold
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on


Gah, from the moment i read the over-inflated, self-aggrandizing cover blurb ("with a voice only Alice Sebold can bring to the page"--c'mon, you've written one "hit" novel, which itself wasn't too critically acclaimed. You certainly don't have an unparalleled voice in literature, much less writing.) I was biased toward this book. The slow, plodding, idiotic story and character's actions didn't do much to convince me I had been wrong. Skip it.
