The book left me feeling sad, angry, and slightly depressed.Anne Bennionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03309037263945076367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-75820116803878986192009-07-19T09:10:11.698-07:002009-07-19T09:10:11.698-07:00I think I would probably have given it about the s...I think I would probably have given it about the same rating. It is such a great idea for a story, it is a shame she couldn't bring it to fuition a little better. I agree the morals/sexual content were odd, at best. It seemed to overshadow the base of the story. Try The Almost Moon if you get a chance. Better, not a 5, but worth the time.Kim R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07559723072849271422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367491918209452164.post-82817439173046722172009-07-19T09:01:22.637-07:002009-07-19T09:01:22.637-07:00I agree with you on this book.

Parts of it seemed extremely realistic (how people could act/disconnect/fall apart/etc at the loss of a loved one) but other parts I wished they'd left out. I hated the (SPOILER HERE) part at the end where she enters her friends body for such a lame reason as to have sex with some boy she barely knew. I didn't feel like the bond between them was so important that it should be holding her there. That was lame. <br />So. I read it. It was good. I will NEVER read it again. <br />Good job on the review Kari!MindySuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122081120154598894noreply@blogger.com
