review 1: This was an incredibly bittersweet read. The writing was beautiful, I thought the pacing was just right, and I loved the characters (though Emmie was a little bit too much like a 'manic pixie dream girl' in places). Although some reviewers seemed to find Joe annoying, I thought he was an excellent protagonist. The fact that he was unsympathetic at times made him seem very real to me, and that made his later struggle with depression all the more painful to witness. As a bonus, having spent a lot of time in the Netherlands over the last year made me really enjoy the little Dutch touches in this novel.
review 2: Joe is different. I don't know if it aspergers syndrome. Or maybe some kind of emotional immaturity, because he did seem, at the end, to be capable of e... moremotional insight and growth. A cast of memorable, all-to-human characters and a muddled plot, untangle into a vignette of a life. We each have that spark of the holy--the most beautiful thing--in us. We just need to be reminded of it and honor it. less
