![]() I was wondering if I should pull out an index card to keep track of them all. I was a little nervous at the beginning of this book when more and more characters were added to the story. Because in real and meaningfull relationships communication is unnecessary! Isn't is all just sooo amazing? ![]() This is Serious Stuff! You must Cry! You must Laugh! You must think Deep and Meaningfull thoughts about life and relationships! And there is Nothing Funny about that, young lady!Īnd the cherry on top of this trainwreck? The ending of course, where two people sit together in silent understanding. The author has no sense of humour about the story or the characters. I think I might have been able to enjoy this book a bit if it wasn't so completely serious. Sorry, but I think that would require some sort of emotional bond with the characters. Especially the coupple of mistreated kids who were probably supposed to be the part that makes me cry. ![]() There are several other characters as well, but they are equally forgettable and annoying. You see, they are simple Irish folk who just want to make good food, have a solid marriage and make lots of Irish babies. Well, I was bored to tears if that counts?Ĭathy and Tom, the main characters are clueless, stupid and completely lack the ability to stand up for themselves. ![]() This book promises that I will be "laughing and crying with Cathy, Tom and all their friends". ![]()
