svanderslice 's review for:

3.5
reflective sad medium-paced

Illuminating, loving, compassionate depiction of a marriage and loss of a partner. But the clipped sentences, which read more like a daily diary (not surprising since the author has, admirably, kept one since he was 10), become extremely wearing very quickly. A book is a made thing, a crafted thing.  Not a diary. True, reflective, full sentences would have done more justice to this story.
