Search - The Dive From Clausen's Pier

Loved this--different kind of love story. Do we honor our heart or obligation?

This book is something unexpected to read. When I got it as a gift, I really didn't think it would be worth my time, but I was wrong. I think you'd enjoy it if you gave it a chance. It held my interest and I read through it very quickly.

Carrie and Mike have been a couple since high school and just as Carrie is having second thoughts about thier relationship, Mike has a diving accident and is paralyzed from the neck down. This book chronicles Carrie's thought and feeling process through the whole ordeal. This is a pretty good story, I would give it 4 stars because of the way it involves the reader in the characters ambivalence without making snap judgements and its recogntion and appreciation of human foibles and difficulties.

I found this book interesting: a challenging life situation puts young woman in an untenable place. How she deals with it and how it ends was interesting.

Description of life in New York City was fun and intriguing.

I loved this book so much that I even wrote a sociology paper on it in college. A great thought provoking story!

This book kept me turing the pages until the very end.
