review 1: I LOVED this book. I was intrigued by the concept and how it would play out. Not only do you get the "ghost" element of what someone should have done before her sudden sudden death, but you also have her brain being transplanted into the body of a complete stranger. The writing was great, and I was truly interested throughout the whole story. As I neared the end, though, I kept waiting for the big conflict, the one you'd expect in such a story. It pretty much happens in the last three pages and wasn't quite the way I wanted it, I guess.. It doesn't take away from how much I enjoyed the story, but it could have been resolved in a different way. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this book from beginning to end!
review 2: I was really interested in reading thi... mores book because the plot sounded so strange- the brain of a 29 yr old gets transplanted into the body of an 11 yr old. She's not supposed to still have her memories but she does and has to make the decision to let go of her old life as Liz and become Kate instead. I didn't understand the author's position on both the doctor and the reporter- they both had big moments where they seemed like the bad guy and at other times they were the good guys. So I never really understood which side she wanted them to be on. I also didn't like the son's role and especially his relationship with his girlfriend which seemed random and forced. There were some things that the author seemed like she was hinting at something but I wasn't really sure what she was getting at and so instead they just seemed like random statements. I was slightly unclear at the end how much Bruce actually understood and if he knew that Marcy also knew...But the idea was definitely unique and something interesting to think about. less
