Colleen A. (cedarbend) reviewed Pretty good, but..... on 4/19/2009 + 11 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

I find myself agreeing with the reviewer on Amazon who thought the characters all sounded alike...maybe not exactly alike, but too close for this to be a better novel. I liked it and I looked foward to picking it up when I got time...but, I wouldn't recommend it by saying, "You've gotta read this book!" like I do so many others. And here's one of my biggest pet peeves: The ending is suddenly just wrapped up. It's like an author gets tired of keeping the strands going and thinks "Ah here. That's it." And can anyone help me out here? WHAT did Joe die of in the desert? Maybe I missed something, but why did he get out and walk away into the desert and then drop over dead? How handy. And after getting to know Lucy throughout the book, she is relegated to an "Oh yeah, and Lucy opened a cafe...". The ending was just not what it could have been.
