review 1: Dark Comedy- New genera for me.It did make me laugh - mostly from who he wrote letters to "dear Mrs. Butterworth" etc.- Through the duration of 90% of the book it was quick enough and slightly humorous enough to compel me to keep reading, but I felt no connection to the plot. As I read I wondered "what am I waiting for here, what are we trying to resolve or discover...?"The ending is interesting, however had I known this would be the conclusion- it would not have been good enough for me to read the whole book. I was not upset by the ending just not thrilled.Glad I read it- but I doubt I will read it again.
review 2: T. Rimberg is ready to commit suicide. He was married. Had two kids. Cheated on wife. Divorced. What else can he do with his life...?Until a packa... morege comes in the mail containing a lot of money from the father who left when he was still a kid. It's an inheritance...but all the notes are dated for the future. So is he dead? Alive? And where to go from here?With Cranberry, a kid kicked out of his house, T. heads off to Europe. He keeps his intention to kill himself, but finds that having a purpose in your life often changes plans.This book was told mostly through letters and journal entries, giving a unique take on an already unique story. T. Rimberg writes everyone from his brother to his dad to Aunt Jemima. Spread out between the letters is a conversation being held between T. and a priest who seems to believe T. created a miracle. The book, however, only gives you T.'s responses and nothing else.The Miracle Letters had interested me for awhile and I was definitely excited to read the book, but I was quite surprised by all the historical elements in the novel, but it was a welcome surprise. Herbach writes about families being connected from far away and that life is never exactly what it seems to be at any given moment.I recommend for older teens and adults. less
