About book Light Of Day (2005)

Wow, what a novel. Jamie Saul had me thinking all the way through this book. I thought I could see where this story was headed, but I was wrong. My heart went out to Dr. Jack Owens and his son Danny. Neither Jack or Anne felt ready to have a child, yet they decided to have the baby they had created. They both loved their son. Anne was an artist and felt she needed something other than being the mother and wife to her family. When Anne left, Jack did everything based on giving the best life he could imagine for his child. I admired his dedication and what a good father he was.How sad and yet this story certainly could be a true and accurate road for a parent to take under these circumstances. I wanted to see the future and the past all at the same time.I will read the other work(s) of Jamie Saul. He has a wonderful way of writing.

The title and the back cover was deceiving when I picked up this book . I read the surprising beginning then skipped a huge chunk of the middle and read the last two chapters .The theme of the book is good ,I just found it tedious ...the descriptions off track ...things like this happen in the news and is courageous of the author to try to tackle the subject ,yet it did not convey me the deep feeling I would expect with such sadness and the turn of events .I would have been better as a short story !

Do You like book Light Of Day (2005)?

It was meh, ok. I had to speed-read some chapters because they were just so long and over the top. I'll admit, I skipped to the end and back-tracked. I don't usually do this but I was just so frustrated with the endless, heartbreaking morose and mourning, not to mention the repetitiveness. I understand that's the author's special technique but I found it pointless and annoying. Even though it had chapters that went on and on and on with no point, I was left with questions and a lot of holes. The

I read alot of mysteries like Robert Crais, Stephen White, Walter Satherwaite, Thomas Perry, Anne Perry (notice how I worked all of these in?) but I never put them on Goodreads. This book however, could be considered a mystery in a way, but a mystery with ethical challenges. Not that you don't find ethical challenges in the more formulaic mysteries, but they are such cream puffs, such bon bons. This one is about a single father, a professor, who has more or less sacrificed his life (snore, formulaic) to raise his son. But the novel is not formulaic. Well, maybe it is, but with more girth. When an unthinkable thing happens to his beloved son, the professor, Jack, can't stop trying to work it out. Eventually, he does. What would any of us do?
