Book Reviews of Sweet Hereafter: A Novel
Book Review: beautiful writing
Summary: 5 Stars
an incredible book about an accident and how it altered a small town and it's people....truly amazing....I found this book a little hard to read because it's a lot of run on sentences....but unique in that the story is told by many people in the town and their persceptive on the accident. I don't rate it five stars for the subject matter but by the beautiful writing style....This book will leave your heart a little sad but it's a must read!Book Review: An excellent outline of the effects tragedy has on a town.
Summary: 5 Stars
I felt that the story was very well presented and quite touching. I think Banks was able to comminicate the details of the accident without being objective. I feel that accidents help people understand themselves better. They need to be opened and explored by the people involved to better see the porblems. I think that Banks did this and was able to prove that accidents are accidents and no one should be blamed.Book Review: An excellent outline of the effects tragedy has on a town.

Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed the way Banks set up the chapters, the story line and the mini plots within the story which all seemed to gel by the last chapter. Perhaps what drew me to this in the first place was tone- 19 children die in a bus accident. As a mother of a child who died, perhaps I was searching for common ground. It really doesn't exist as you are in a world of your own. But the book was very well written nonetheless.Book Review: A sad book
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading The sweet hereafter I relized important points such as how major accidents like this one can really affect a small community taring them apart rather then togeather. Even though the book was depressing, Russell Banks made it so that you didn't concinetrate mostly on the tragedy but what it did to the town. I enjoyed this book for the way it was written, and how I reacted to it after I read it.
