The Almost Moon Alice Sebold "I read "The Almost Moon" by Alice Sebold, first because it was given to me to read by a friend. And also, I really liked her previous books, "Lovely Bones" and "Lucky." "The Almost Moon" I think is about a woman. Her name is Helen. And in the first scene, I believe she kills her mother. She smothers here with bath towels and a lot of questions are raised as to why she did this and kind of what her motivation was. So, it kind of goes back in the past about Helen's relationship with her mother and her father, both who seem to have mental health issues. I didn't really like much about this book. It was kind of annoying and a little unconvincing. A lot of questions are raised why did she kill her mother, first of all? Why did she take a snip of her hair and put it in her purse as a trophy? Why did she have sex with her best friend's son, right after she killed her mother? Is her ex-husband ever going to end up helping her in disposing of the body? Why did she want to cut her mother into a million little pieces and mail them to places unknown? If I would have finished the book, maybe I would have gotten the answers to the questions. But I really wasn't interested in why. I would not recommend this book to anyone. I couldn't finish it. I wanted to finish it because I liked her earlier books, but I would not recommend this to anyone. I would give this book, one and a half stars."
