Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral

I received this book from a sorority sister who's husband had recently died.
The book has been read, commented on, and passed around a group of us who
have been friends since college.
I did not read it from any "literary critic's standards" point of view.
I simply enjoyed the story, with both laughter and tears, and vowed to work
harder to keep those college friendships important in my life. There is no
doubt that my funeral will be very different from Annie's, but I hope my
friends and family who are still alive when I'm gone will remember me with
the love and fondness that Annie's friends had for her.

I also read two other books by K.Radish, and while I did enjoy the reading,
I did not like them nearly as much as "Annie..." I'm glad I read it before the others,
as I might not have been willing to put in the time reading it had I read
her other books first.

Every reader brings her (or his) own set of standards and interests to the
task of reading a book that has been recommended by others. If you did not
like this book, oh well. But each person who starts it will have to
decide for herself whether or not to complete the reading. I have often
found that my opinions differed from "critics," but if a good friend
recommends a book, I'm much more likely to enjoy it also.

Give it a try; make your own judgment.

The funniest funeral book ever

I loved this book and can't believe I had not heard of Kris radish before. A friend mailed me a copy because of my own end-of-life interests. But this was a whole new take. Such laughter, so many tears, such adventure, so much to think about regarding the people we love, and the importance of letting them know we love them now. I hope reading this book leads to many creative ways of honoring those we lose. And most important is Radish's message to live life fully and joyfully now. What could be a better gift from a well-written novel?!

Awesome Journey until the end . . .

I loved this book, the premise, the characters, the descriptions of the places visited. I felt that the ending was a rushed. I wish the author took more time to wrap up the lives of these amazing women that I came to know and love through earlier chapters.

Should I read this or not??

Well, here's a "review" from someone who has NOT read this book yet, but checked amazon reviews before buying it. A friend highly recommended it at a recent college reunion, but I always "check" books out first. The reviews here on Amazon are so far apart that it's actually kind of funny. People either love or can't stand this book! There isn't a whole lot in between. I guess I'll have to get it and see what happens. It sounds as if I'll fall into one camp or the other very soon into it....
