Don't bother!

My book group chose this - or rather someone suggested it and I didn't object strenuously enough!! (I was pretty sure I wouldn't enjoy anything by Richard Paul Evans!!)

I went to get it from the library and it was on hold until 2 days before we were supposed to meet. Then the reference librarian called and said it was at the Sierra Madre Library. I was going to drive over there but decided that with gas prices the way they are, it might be cheaper to get it from Amazon. So I did. That was Tuesday - I ordered it that night - and it came today!!

Harry is working late, so I sat down and started reading it - broke for dinner and then finished it. (It's a very skimmable book, btw!!) I think I read it in 3 1/2 hours - 3 1/2 hours that could have been better spent surfing the net!! Or maybe playing Solitaire!!

I often joke around about books of this caliber and say "I could write that." But you know, I couldn't write that. I could never come up with such drivel!!

It's in diary form - a man loses his wife, his business, his house, his cars - and then decides to walk to Key West, Florida. There are the de rigeur "other-worldly" elements. There are panic attacks, a homeless man without hands, a suicide survivor who "understands," and it looks like there's a female interest on board - something for the sequels I am sure.

And her name is Angel!!!
