MY REVIEW
This was a bit
hard to understand. The author used pompous wording, and seemed to ramble on in
his thoughts. The book is written in chapter wording, but had a poetry feel to
it. Each chapter/season had a picture inserted at the beginning, with the name
of the chapter on it. I liked that, and thought reach picture truly depicted
what the chapter was about. The story begins by comparing love and time, and
equating it to a clock.
The story then
flips to him being young and running into a woman on the beach. At this point
it becomes bizarre to me. He seems to admire her, but then only sees her as a
possible receptionist? But then the next thing, he’s describing being in a coma
but very aware of his surroundings. Then that leads into his grave. As I said,
bizarre, because then it continues into a diatribe about what I assume is lost
love. He does not speak up and the woman marries another. To me, this seems to
be out of place, with his seasons scrambled. This was too short of a prose to
really feel for the character. And the way it rambled, I really didn’t want to.
