Excellent. Absolutely excellent. It's all one story with each chapter by a different author as it follows the life and career of a photojournalist and that of his family. How his choices affect his entire family. Which sounds so much less than it is. It's enheartening. It's sad. It's an intriguing look at family, life, and existence.

I really wanted to like this book. I loved the IDEA of this book...




BUT the book itself was not that great. Like I said the idea of the book was amazing... and I feel like maybe if ONE author had written it, it would have been amazing... BUT TEN AUTHORS WROTE THIS BOOK!!!!!! Ten authors with different writing styles, different writing styles that were combined into one book. It made it feel... rushed and sloppy. I also didn't help how there wasn't really a main character, so I couldn't really connect in that way either.

Overall, I was sorely disappointed, and I would not recommend this book to anyone.

I wasn't wowed by this book. Some of the interlinked stories were much better than others, and overall the book just didn't grab me. Sometimes it was difficult to hold on to all the characters and remember someone when they popped up again in later chapters. Overall I think the idea was great, but it just didn't work for me.

Had a hard time getting into this. didn't like all the different author voices although the way the narrative moves along was clever.

An interesting idea that might have been executed better. I really loved some stories, but other were perplexing, and I'm not sure what to think of the implied existence of magical elements that was present in some of the stories but not all of them.
I did love Almond story though, so delicate and quiet.

I was sadly disappointed. It started off well and I was excited to see where it was going but the last two stories threw me off of the whole experience. I went in with no expectations and was still disappointed.

I liked this, nice touching stories around a photographer and the lives he touched to some degree. The book does have some cohesion, but of course it was written by 10 people. I enjoy photography myself and wish I could rise to the level of artistry by the characters in the book.

Quote from the Book: "Really famous -- people like Tiger Woods and Lance Armstrong and Michael Jordon". Ha, this book was written by a lot of Europeans in 2007 when Lance Armstrong was still officially a 7 time Tour de France winner.

I picked up this one at a book fair when I was in school in 7th grade. I loved this book so very much then. I read it after 8 years, in college, when I'd forgotten most of it, and I loved it then. I'm trying to forget it again now, so that I can read it afresh.

Too bad it's out of print now. This is a beautiful work.
