Scott Stevenson (1)

I read only 42 out of 451 pages. It was a monthly book club selection for an online bookclub I am active in. The author tells of his life when his wife gets breast cancer and later when his sister goes through a divorce with an abusive husband. I stopped reading when he told his wife, " . . . you know you chose to have this tumor." This apparently had to do with something in a past life that she needed to resolve or learn from. Cancer is bad enough. I just can't believe that someone should show more feel guilty about it. Bad things just happen and we humans often learn from them.

Cancer was not a choice for the author's wife. But, his choice to invest has money into NASDAQ stocks shortly before the market crash was his choice. There is a big difference in the two situations.

Unless, I read a worse book by the end of the year, this book will be the worst I read during 2010. show less
