Review: Not All That Memorable
Rating: 3 out of 5

I feel as if I read a different story than the other reviewers.  This story is just ok.  It is a feel-good story with an anticipated happy ending.  The characters are fairly authentic and likeable but Marge Harper is predictable and her son is a little too saintly.  This is not the story of a weekend of inspiring events but only a couple of hours on the first evening of the Special Olympics.  The story is plausible and pleasant but there are no sweet surprises.  There is nothing that stimulates the reader to think.  It was not a story that brought a sparkle of a tear or conjured up a satisfied sigh.  There really was nothing dramatic or inspirational that made this story all that special.  It is a pleasant story but not a memorable one.
