I cannot understand why so many people thought this was a good book. It has very little to do with life on an island taking care of a lighthouse. It has everything to do with the difficult decisions human beings may make and the painful consequences that may ensue. The idea for the plot is an interesting one. But, the characters were poorly developed, too cookie-cutter, eventually just annoying. The writing style was simple and went on and on and on. Don't good editors exist anymore? The ending was predictable. Blah!
