My 5 star review of Carol LaHines novel SOMEDAY EVERYTHING WILL ALL MAKE SENSEEveryone under God’s heaven is given a life. A life that may be short, long, happy, sad, rich or poor. No life is equal. But the poorest life must be the life of an angst-ridden neurotic, whose constant fears are torture to the mind.Such is the life of Luther van der Loon, the main character in Carol LaHines SOMEDAY EVERTHING WILL ALL MAKE SENSE, a talented musician who is obsessed with the death of his beloved mother as well as his own mortality.
The leading character in a book with a disorder whose characteristics are thus portrayed could only spell DULL in the hands of the majority of writers. But, no, no, no, no. not in the capable hands of LaHines. The character that she brings to life is amusing in his unwitting, even lovable, way of obsessive fears and worries. Yet it is apparent, that despite his paranoia, he is quite the proficient lover when it comes to making it with his long and very patient girl-friend Cecilia. Hmmmm!!!
While I am witness to twists and turns in his complicated and neurotic nature, it also makes me think and wonder.Are we not all somewhat paranoid; am I not seeing a little of myself in him? Well, just a little, perhaps.
It is a very amusing and enlightening read. Reminds me of a poem ‘Know then thyself, presume not God to scan. The proper study of mankind is man.’ And so it is. Do we ever discover who we are, and if we do, Are we who we long believed ourselves to be! Perhaps between the lines in this novel, you may actually discover who you are.
This is a novel that makes you think. Makes you wonder about yourself, your long-term thoughts your feelings.Isn’t that what life is about, discovery, wherever it might take us.
There is a lot more to this novel than you might think. Think, that is it, it makes you think as a work of literature should, or what is its worth.
I loved it, even though it made me wonder—Me!!!!!
