review 1: This is a wonderful book by the author of "The Art of Racing in the Rain" (also a wonderful book). While the story is entirely different, there are some similarities: the narrator is someone whose ability to make his own choices is limited, for example. (This one is a young teenage boy; "Racing"'s is a dog). In addition, the narrators, not being adult humans, are able to see things in adult relationships that are not evident to parties involved. There are folks with ulterior motives in both books. That said, "A Sudden Light" stands beautifully on its own.
review 2: 2-2 1/2 stars. I was disappointed..it was not even half as good as The Art of Racing in the Rain. Both books seem to have a philosophical look at the world, but that's where the similarities en... mored. Trevor , the main character, is trying to bring his parents back together, get to know his grandfather and aunt, and help save the old Riddell house. The first half of book I found more interning than second half. Then there is Serena ..the crazy Aunt! less
