Reviews

On Apr 19 2008, BayShore Books LLC said:

After reading the first chapter of "The Almost Moon" I thought there was no way I was going to be able to finish this book. How can I possibly connect with a character who murders her mother in the very first sentence?

Boy, was I wrong! I read a few reviews where the reviewer states they couldn't even finish the book. Finish it! It will be worth your time. By the end I felt Helen’s pain and was able to empathize with her. Alice Sebold does an amazing job of bringing the characters to life. No, this is not an easy read. The subject matter is difficult and controversial, but if you are looking for a deep thought provoking read, this is it.
