A Blind Man Can See How Much I Love You by Amy Bloom

3.0

Three stars, maybe four. I disliked the first two stories so much that I almost didn't read further. But I thought the stories got better after that. I enjoyed most of the rest of the book. I dog-eared a few pages -- for the clever descriptions or interesting thoughts. She's good, but a lot of the subjects in this collection were grim and sometimes the characters or events were just not very believable. The most profound moment in the whole book was in a story about a little boy in the hospital. He's disabled, missing both arms, and very homely and bad-termpered, as well. Not a child anyone wants to get close to. The narrator says: "proof, not that I needed it, that the thought of a God is even more frightening than the thought of a world without one."
