Okay. .the wonderful writing of Yalom with a great fictional plot that holds a mystery, suspense, a love story and instruction in finding the right therapist. This was a great summer read!

I didn’t like it at the beginning, but I think the storyline/plot gets very interesting. I liked Ernest’s character the more he developed as an honest, humanistic therapist. I was turned off by the detailed sexual thoughts the characters had and the descriptions of the women’s bodies (focusing in on the breasts). I enjoyed Carol’s character and I was happy to see her grow, especially through her therapy sessions. I do think her relationship with Jesse was a little more fleshed out, it progressed very fast with minimal development. I picked it up bc I’m in a helping field at entry level, and I do think I learned something from the book so I’m glad I read it.

Geen lekkere flow, slechte typo's van begin tot eind, laat mij achter met een teleurgesteld gevoel. Wat heb ik nu eigenlijk gewonnen met het lezen van dit boek? Ondanks dat toch ook wel bij vlagen meegenomen in het verhaal en zelfs kunnen lachen. Al met al een oké boek.
