This book is amazing. The story is organized as a progression of ideas (in the guise of an autobiographical novel, but, if you'll notice, the reader knows every major plot point very early on) intertwining life events and great literature. As the best nonfiction does, the work continuously re-analzyes itself, and Allison acknowleges the deepest and least socially acceptable of her emotions. She guides us with a steady hand through what, for most of us, is completely uncharted territory-- both in the extraordinarily tragic emotional life of her family, and literature that most people will never read (at least not as a complete body of work). One or two reviewers said that they did not think the drawings added much to the story-- I have to disagree. Watch the precision with which Allison draws the lines of her father's and mother's faces. Honestly, though, the pictoral highlight for me was her analysis of her childhood diary and the way she coded in her self-doubt. The emotional highlight of the book was, as she intended, the climax of her and her father in the car. But my favorite aspect of the book was, as I mentioned, the way Allison steadily guides us through the parellels of her parents' life with certain writers and their work. She takes us into deeper and deeper places, using the literature as a way of making sense of things-- starting out with Fitzgerald and Gatsby, moving through Henry James, Proust, the trial of Oscar Wilde (a personal favorite, I admit), and finally landing softly down amidst the Odyssey and Ulysses. None if it feels pretentious. Allison uses our common reading history (and there are more accesible references to James and the Giant Peach, Catcher in the Rye, Winnie the Pooh) to filter the world: both to herself and to her lucky audience.

ok, i'm upping the stars on this one. Everytime I have to read it, it gets better. Oddly, his discussion of the irish potato famine is funny (ha ha funny).
Sweet and tender story of a little boys real journey to heaven and back. I've also listened to several interviews with Colton Burpo and his dad Todd. Colton seems to be a mature and serious young man beyond his years. Excellent read. I highly recommend. I shed some tears with this one. Own on my nook.

It's a little disturbing that most (if not all) reviews of this book are by women and/or recommended to women and girls. I have just read it, and enjoyed it immensely. It can be a little sentimental in parts, but overall it is a great holiday read, especially if you are a NY-phile like myself. The author paints a great picture of Brooklyn life early last century. Definitely a classic.

If you don't know wine, this is a great departure point.
The problem with books like this, like covers of popular songs, is that they hardly ever live up to the original. While the original "Rebecca" was a masterpiece that practically served as template for most Romantic gothic literature that followed, "Rebecca's Tale" is a lackluster novel only a die-hard "Rebecca" fan would stomach to finish. The characters are unappealing and even the promise of learning more about Rebecca, Maxim de Winter's mysterious first wife, does not hold one's attention throughout the book. I suppose that's why I found it in the sale bin in the first place.
I'm into the novel, now, months after my son recommended it....interesting that, since the novel was published, they've begun calling dual-gender folks "intersexuals". I suppose we're all somewhere on a gender/sexual continuum, but to truly switch genders must be amazing, confusing, difficult, and brave brave brave. The Greek family from which the hero is born is fun, too, raising cocoons in the hills of Turkey/Greece. I'm liking it, Ri!
