[edit] Article split

Although I sympathis with the sentiment of the request - I don't see enough content here worth a split. Anyone who knows enough about this novel / film should augement the entry with more description, plot summary and analysis and then it might be worth treating separately. :: Kevinalewis : ^{(Talk Page)}/_(Desk) 07:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

This article is a joke. For one, it was never implied during any part of this novel that Eddie works at the pier to make it everything his wife wants. Huh? I can't even figure out how one would come to this conclusion. Also, READ CAREFULLY! The little girl did NOT die during the accident! Tala tells him this towards the end of the novel. Read the end again - the 'stories' are completed and all comes around full circle when we are told that Eddie (now having moved on to the next stage of heaven) will be waiting for the little girl (Amy?...)to get to heaven so he can explain the meaning of part of her life to help her understand. Had the girl died already, much of the meaning would have been lost. The end of the novel wouldn't make any sense! Maybe you should try to read this one again. This is a deep, touching story and I feel that this article does nothing to encourage any one to read it (which EVERYONE SHOULD). If you don't understand, please refrain from writing novel summaries! I hope I have time in the future to write up an accurate summary/review. Christina
