A dissapointment
The author writes well, but nothing he says is so profound or comforting. In fact, at times it felt kind of insincere and glib, like he was using other people's sorrows (including his own family's) to make himself appear deep. I agree with the comment's of the other reviewer: Naomi Levy's To Begin Again is by far more helpful, the only one that belongs in the class of When Bad Things Happen To Good People.
