A review by lydiagrace1999
Days of Wonder by Keith Stuart
4.0
Along with the general consensus on this book, I found Days Of Wonder to be beautifully written, with a diverse cast of characters who each had something that made them likeable. It delves sensitively into child illness, and the pressure of a single dad of dealing with that alone, while keeping his business afloat.
The only reason in which I didn't give this 5 stars was because of the way in which relationships turned out in the end. There were snippets in the novel where I thought Tom would end up with Sally, and Hannah would end up falling for Jay. The way Stuart was hinting, I really thought it would end up that way (especially when Tom and Sally held hands while leaving the graveyard). It definitely seems as if Stuart changed his mind halfway through the novel.
If you like a feel-good story with underlying tones of tear-jerking moments, this novel is definitely for you. I also feel this novel personifies an almost blueprint for a film.
