A review by laurelinwonder
The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold

3.0

Let me start this review by saying I love both "The Lovely Bones" & "Lucky", Sebold has lovely, yet clear & to the point writing that I have previously enjoyed. I wanted to give this book 4 stars, but found that the circular way in which this book was written actually lost at more than one point. I also didn't know why you needed to know about Hammish, was he really necessary? I feel that more about Helen's marriage, and her parents would have been more important to the psychology behind this book. Overall, worth a read, but not as strong, story-wise as Sebold's previous books.
