  		Loved this book, it's part of a series though and you might enjoy starting at the beginning to get to know the progression of the characters.

  		This book was a great idea. Sometimes I felt the pain of the person who wrote the message, sometimes I thought,couldn't you have written something more important? Some I thought were funny but most of all it took away the mask that most people wear and we saw the real person. It made me think what I would write or what my family, friends and co-workers would write. I also wondered if any of the postcards were from people I know!

  		Try reading his book Beach Music. It had a haunting quality that stayed with me for days.
