Review of The Ultimate Love
Posted: 05 Sep 2021, 11:52
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Ultimate Love" by Sherine Anniruth.]
Losing a loved one is truly heartbreaking. When you lose someone, a part of you goes missing as well. The space they left is left empty forever. Grieving your loved one is a process that varies from person to person. In Sherine Anniruth's The Ultimate Love, we are given an in-depth story of how our narrator, Sherine Anniruth, moves through her period of mourning.
What I truly loved about the book is how Sherine Anniruth was able to capture the sensations you feel when in mourning. The melancholic thoughts of the future and the absence of the loved one. She used very jarring words to emphasize the feelings you may have when mourning a loved one. Her writing style is descriptive and powerful. She uses words and phrases that give a deeper meaning to the text. And overall, that is what propels her writing forward.
What I liked about the book was also what I disliked about the book. In some cases, her powerful writing can seem redundant at times. I saw that, in some cases, she didn't have to describe so many things in such detail. But, it truly comes down to preference. I didn't need so many descriptions of the same thing. Especially if it is not important to the narrative. It all comes down to the preference of the reader, if whether or not they appreciate the attention to detail.
I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars . I gave this book a 3 out of 4 because, as I said before, it seemed redundant at times. The book itself is well written but, in my opinion, it can do without the over-explaining of insignificant ideas.
I recommend this book to those who want to learn about grief. Because the book is a personal account, it is great for people who love non-fiction books.
