Another huge book! A little over 900 pages, but well worth the journey. This is the story of twin brothers told through the eyes of the "lucky" brother. The other twin has schizophrenia and the book is almost like a transcript of his counseling sessions with his shrink. He explores his past, his grandfather's past, his feelings, and his misconceptions of life throughout the book.
I've also read the author's other books, She's Come Undone and The Hour I First Believed. I don't remember liking She's Come Undone too much, but The Hour I First Believed was a good Columbine story told from the point of view of two adults who worked in the school.
If you've got some time, I think there is a good message in this book: that of forgiveness. And can't we all use a little reminder of how important that is?
