rated a book it was amazing

| Brilliant and powerful, made me chuckle and made me sad (as Saunders pretty much always does). A keeper. Highly recommended. Don't want to ruin anything with spoilers. Thought I'd find the illustrations beside the point or annoying, but they are grea ...more | |

| I enjoyed this book, but boy, is it sad! There are numerous scenes that seem way too intense for children, and yes, the world can be sadly cruel to animals, and the book feels (mostly) realistic, but boy... not sure I'd buy this for a child. Maybe a ...more | |

rated a book it was ok

| Almost rated 3 stars because the illustrations are super cute! But the book is overly long, tedious, and seems geared toward those about to graduate high school, or maybe college freshmen. A "gifty" sort of book for a niece, perhaps, or a young co-wo ...more | |

| Won this in a Goodreads Giveaway (thanks, Goodreads!), and though I found the parallel life studies interesting, there wasn't a lot of meat. The thousands of hours of research involved were mostly about finding people to pair with similar "cliffs" in ...more | |

“After Years
Today, from a distance, I saw you
walking away, and without a sound
the glittering face of a glacier
slid into the sea. An ancient oak
fell in the Cumberlands, holding only
a handful of leaves, and an old woman
scattering corn to her chickens looked up
for an instant. At the other side
of the galaxy, a star thirty-five times
the size of our own sun exploded
and vanished, leaving a small green spot
on the astronomer's retina
as he stood on the great open dome
of my heart with no one to tell.”
