“Fragmented is the only word I can think of to describe this book. The story doesn't flow at all - it's told in fits and starts. Frequently, the characters are reacting to something that the author later explains. The details about life with macular degeneration were interesting and the characters likable but, unless I missed it (since, I confess, I got bored with the story and started skimming), Birdie's visitations from Huck Finn are never really explained. The only part I enjoyed was the relationship between Birdie and her grandson, Fletcher.”
