Query: Promising, but an ultimate failure

Sebold can write, but can she synthesize a plot, develop characters in a meaningful way, and create a well-rounded tale? No.The family dynamics illustrated after their daughters death felt like a strained attempt to create characters out of the famous stages of dealing with grief (denial, anger, depression...).The heaven Sebold describes is incredibly superficial (every wish is granted), unimaginative, and sentimental.Sebold tries to tackle far too much--too many characters and their emotional states, and she obviously adores nearly all of them, considering by the end, everyone's lives have become disgustingly and predictably ideal.The book does not come to any resolution, fruition, or conclusion, nor does it have any underlying message that I could glean from its pages.
