Amazing, deep and provacative book. Great for older teens and adults. It takes awhile to get into and it's a pretty heavy book (literally and figuratively) I'd suggest reading it over a holiday or something.

Although This Is All is not really a plot driven novel, I still found myself unable to put it down. I kept wanting to go on to find out what Cordelia would talk about next. As the narrator discusses how her soon-to-be-born child came to be, readers will be drawn in by Cordelia's honesty and openness in discussing her life, her choices, and how both have led her to where she is at the beginning of the novel. I don't know that this book has universal appeal, but if you tend to enjoy novels that take time to develop their characters, then you will enjoy Cordelia and the tales she tells
