Book Reviews of The Almost Moon: A Novel
Book Review: excellent a great read!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Words can't explain the story behind this book. It is amazing how we live our lives masked by every day issues. How sad to have grown up in a house like that. Although Helen didn't even know how bad it was to the end. It is a wake up call for all parents who are depressed, and to get medication and the help that you need. Its a great book for a book club. I highly recommed it.Book Review: A very human, dark story of family mental illness
Summary: 5 Stars
I thoroughly liked this book because I GET IT! Mental illness of one family member is one thing, but in this book everyone is affected by their own mental illlness AND how and what it does to each other overlaps and causes more pain. You never know what is going on in your neighbors home. This book is a capusule of such and a true to life story, very well written.Book Review: Thought provoking and moving
Summary: 5 Stars
Having been a hige fan of The lovely Bones it was with great excitement that I began The Almost Moon and I am happy to say I wasn't dissapointed. Though dealing with a very difficult subject matter I felt that this book provided an extremely realistic picture of the often complicated mother daughter realtionship. Over all a moving and enjoyable read.Book Review: essential reading
Summary: 5 Stars
I believed the bad reviews and decided to skip this book... until a friend I trusted said it was compelling and moving. I practically held my breath the entire time I was reading it. Not every book is written to fritter away a few hours at the beach. I am astounded at Ms. Sebold's bravery and literary voice.Book Review: Incredible, I will never forget this one!
Summary: 5 Stars
You have to admit writing a dark and mysterious book is pretty tough whithout trying to sound like a total creeper. I thought this book was magically written and had so much detailing that I feel like I have seen a movie of it. Basically, it is a dark book with a beautiful light about it. I loved it.
