Search - Thank You for All Things

One more great read by Sandra Kring. She writes a book like no one else. As soon as you read the first paragraph you are part of the book.

This was written around the death of the Grandfather who everyone saw from different views. Some saw him as a great person while others saw him as a mean and hateful man

Great book take the time to read it

I love Kring's writing style - it's vivid and to the point - not all flowery and wordy. I learned some things about life and death from this book, and thought the story unfolded and ended beautifully. The characters were very real and loveable. I thought the subject matter was really depressing and didn't really look forward to reading the book, but felt like I had to find out the secret and that I owed it to the characters.

I really enjoyed this book and found the further I read the less I could put it down.

The twelve year old protagonist in the book just couldn't leave the past in the past. She had to keep pick at it, digging her fingers in deeper and deeper until the truth was laid at her feet in all it's raw glory. How many of us have longed to ask our mothers about their childhood and were told that we need to leave well enough alone. In this book Sandra Kring just can't leave well enough alone and in the process the reader discovers a beautifully written account of love, loss, hate, anger and healing.

Draws you in. You feel like a part of the book. Second bok I've read by Kring, and I will definitely be reading more!

I liked this book, but not as much as The Book of Bright Ideas.
