Strange book. Not a narative story at all, but rather a "found journal". The author presents this as a art journal found in a desk purchased at an estate sale. Read Amy's journal and put together the pieces of the puzzle of her death. This is a really good idea, but the "story" could have been stronger. By about page 5 of Amy's journal, we knew pretty much what was going to happen. If you have an afternoon, this can be read in an hour or two. It is fun to flip back through the pages to look for missed clues along the way. If you like art journals, you will love this, otherwise, it's just not a strong enough mystery to be that interesting. Good idea, though. Makes me want to put one together.... ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0743290380, Hardcover)

In Journal, Kristine Atkinson and Joyce Atkinson conjure the voyeuristic appeal of finding a stranger's diary, then becoming transfixed with the secrets contained within. These pages belong to artist, wife, and mother Amy Zoe Mason, whose riveting storytelling relies equally on visual and verbal clues.

Using an old book as her canvas, Amy layers words, collages, newspaper clippings, and emails into a personal narrative that at first feels familiar, until the sense of alarm begins to build. Readers will find themselves scouring the pages for missed hints and important evidence , compelled to interpret the signs.
