Good business book.
some of the best writing.
It's Langston Hughes! Also, the editor is wonderful. I love Dr. Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper =). She's my Mama Kiba! I actually helped her go through her edits of her book because I had nothing else better to do in the afternoon at school. It was a wonderful learning experience and I appreciate Dr. Harper sharing this experience with me.
** spoiler alert ** This book was good, but the more I think about it the more unhappy I am with it. The set-up was great: some unknown Despair is overtaking the world and mysterious beings come collect the dead. The plot execution could have been a little better. On the positive side, it was delightful to read. The words and smilies chosen really evoked a sense of what the characters were experiencing. I actually grimaced and set the book down a couple times imagining just how hungry a dog would have to be to eat a screaming baby, or how much I would have to fear my life before I could beat a dog to death, or just how bad things would have to be before I'd smother someone. Overall I enjoyed it, and it left me wanting more, but it left me wanting a little too much more. The story was great while I was reading it, and I suppose it was realistic with it's revelations about The Source. If I were a character in the book, I couldn't possibly know more than was divulged, so it stood true in that respect. But it would have been nice to have more answers. If this was my only problem with the book, I'd probably have still given it 4.5 to 5 stars. But........ ...the last 25% of the book went a little weird on me. From the point where Norman reconnects with Zero to the end of the book, I just wasn't satisfied with the explanations. Zero was still alive? On a boat? Going to The Source??? Norman was trained on some random boat-navigating equipment and pulled a Juliet and happened to end up on the same boat in a body bag? Seemed far to convenient, and I held out for a better explanation, but none was ever delivered.
