Cheryl-Lynn's review
This Heavy Silence by Nicole Mazzarella
This is a thought provoking book- it reminds me of something I would have read in my sophomore english class which would have required an essay just to examine one facet of the book. There are many many levels to look at and dissect. That being said- I found this to be a depressing book. It begins sad and it ends relatively sad. Not a lot happens and Dottie does not learn quickly- if at all. I hoped it would end differently- this hope kept me reading and when it didn't happen I felt like I had wasted my time and a bit of happiness. I prefer more uplifting books.
