Ralph's Party

review 1: I was slightly unnerved to find that this was a sequel to Ralph's party which I haven't read, but I was surprised to find the story wasn't hard to grasp at all, it was really easy to get into and easy to read. The story was both heart-warming and heart-wrenching at the same time, it's a wonderful roller coaster of love, life and laughs. It's about what comes after the walking into the sunset, it was eye opening, very real and moving, definitely worth a read.
review 2: The author offers an interesting opportunity to view the challenges which partners in a relationship face after children are born and the different perspectives of each partner. That being said, I don't like this book. The story is broken up with "one year before" for a few chapters then "one ye... morear later" for a few chapters back and forth throughout the 100 pages I read. It really disturbed the flow of the story and prevented me from diving in. Each time I was nearly submerged in the story, the timeline shifted and I got jarred into my present then had to settle back into the story. In the end, I didn't like the characters and kept avoiding reading the book because I couldn't bear to read another word. I decided to stop reading it and sell it at the yard sale. less
