disapointing: a book with such high expectaions was sure to come up a little short. This was no exception. Alice Sebolds' obsession with her own relationship with her mother had been obvious with her previous two books. However in the Almost Moon this relationship takes center stage. what is most disturbing about this novel however is that i dont know what i supposed to be thinking, should i feel sorry for a woman who cant let go of her past and has no ability to take responsibilty for her own actions? or do i hope the... Calling Ms. Sebold!: Where are you Ms. Sebold? I don't know what happened! Her last two books left me wanting more...now I can't even finish this book! I went from reading 'World Without End' which I couldn't put down to this which I can't pick up. It's confusing, boring, gross (lots of diarrhea!) and well, just plain awful. I want my money back! A bitterly disappointing second novel - not worth reading: I picked up The Almost Moon, like so many others, after thoroughly enjoying The Lovely Bones. Unfortunately, this book is nothing like The Lovely Bones. Very little happens throughout the book, but after waiting through a few hundred pages of annoying barely-there plot, there is little or not resolution. The book is mostly flashbacks, primarily I suppose to explain why the protragonist behaves as she does, but they are rather uninteresting.
