Laura's thoughts on Just One Look

1. I actually think it would have made for a much more interesting and complicated ending if Jack had not died. I felt like the ending was a bit of a cop out (getting a little ahead of the questions, sorry). I am not sure they could have saved their relationship, but you never got to hear Jack's side of the story. I felt like his dying actually left the story more unresolved than it would have been if he lived.

2. I'm with mom and Thom. It would have required a lot more work on the author's part if Jack had lived.

3. I agree with everyone else. I liked Charlene. I liked her heroism. I liked that when it was important her husband stood by her. Her character was really tragic, though.

4. I actually thought the writing was pretty good. There were lots of twists and turns that I am sure Dad would have seen coming, but I did not. It was relatively clean, too - at least the language.
