Book Review: The Possibilities

Title: The Possibilities
Author: Kaui Hart Hemmings
Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

Summary: Sarah St. John is dealing with the sudden death of her son.   Nobody--not her dad, best friend or her son's dad can help her with her grief. When a woman appears to link to her son, she has the potential to change Sarah's life forever.

Review:  I could have sworn that I wrote this review ages ago but apparently I didn't.  I happened to read this in the midst of other books about children dying.  It wasn't as sad as I thought it was going to be.  Again, the story was fine, just nothing earth shattering.  Perhaps I'm getting overly critical?  Somebody wow me!

Book review: The Painter

Title: The Painter
Author: Peter Heller
Rating: DNF (Did not finish)

Summary:  Jim Stegnar is a successful painter with some anger issues and a passion for fly fishing.  He's also mourning the death of his daughter.  He escaped to Colorado after the last time he lost his temper in New Mexico.  He lost his temper AGAIN and is now back in New Mexico.  Blah blah blah.

Review:  Was this a book about a painter?  Or a fly fisherman?  Or was it about a tortured soul who couldn't keep his temper in check and was being sought out by the "associates" of the guy he killed?  I haven't the faintest idea nor did I care so I gave up.
