Elegant Craftsmanship

One of the characters in this uncompromising book remarks that life always takes place "in the middle of all this," and it certainly does. This is a long journey in a short book and each page is fresh, beautifully conceived and wonderfully well-written. What a pleasure!

Powerful, moving, beautiful

There's going to be a wide disparity of opinions about this book, since it deals with a hot-button, emotional subject: a sibling dying of cancer. For my money, the book and especially the writing are on the mark. For all its seriousness, it's also brutally funny, as we follow Martin self-destructing as he tries to give solace to his sister.
