Review: Two different styles
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 10 22, 2011
The inspiration for this book was sweet, however, by the second half of the book, it was unclear if the story was about the experience of Jack's near boat catastrophe or about the lost opportunity for love.  The tone of the writing sharply changed also, to the point that it would be believable that someone else wrote the last half.  The ending was sweet, yet predictable.  The story could have used some more background on the marital relationship of the main character and the children's relationship with their father.  They seemed too accepting of Jack.  Would have expected some resentment from the eldest daughter who had been named after her mom's true love.
