Review For The Beginner's Goodbye By Anne Tyler
Posted: 13 Dec 2013, 09:19
I just finished reading The Beginner's Goodbye. It is written by Anne Tyler. It's about this man who looses his wife tragically. He's coping with her loss and dealing with getting his house back in order. He starts seeing his wife in various places months after she dies. He doesn't know why or how it happened.
I'm personally on the fence about this book. I loved the storyline itself, but I was not very fond of the way it was written. I feel it could have been more detailed and informative. Some of the parts that I feel were important to the story were chopped and poorly described. I also was not very fond of the main character. I found him very self centered and rude. I'm sure there will be others that will get more out of this than I did. I don't find the book bad at all. I just think it could have been written a little better.
