** spoiler alert ** Still Missing was one of my favorite books of 2010 so I was really excited to read this book. I wanted to love it, I tried to love it, but I didn't love it. The characters and the story line just fell flat for me. I think part of the disconnect was the audio book reader. The way she voiced the characters, particularly Sara, made them really unlikable. I know I was supposed to empathize with her, but instead she annoyed me. I didn't care for the way each chapter was presented as a therapy session but then the dialogue, etc. was not true to how one would relate the story to a therapist (or anyone). I know the same format was used in Still Missing but it worked better for that story than for this one. The plot also drug on a bit too long. The whole "meeting John is the only way to end this," to "That's it, I'm done, I won't meet him" and back and forth, round and round got old fast. I also didn't like the way Evan insisted Sara just stay out of it like that was an option nor do I understand why anyone thought that arranging a meeting with police survelience was more dangerous than ignoring John when he obviously knew where they lived. I was also expecting a twist ending though I did not suspect Billy. All in all, the premise of the story was intriquing and it had some suspensful elements but it fell short of the caliber of Still Missing.

These essays are of a more personal nature than I expected when starting this book. They are thoughtful, often insightful, and sometimes rambly, all of which is excellent and makes for a good read in my world. Because they are often unflattering to the first-person narrator, they also come across as honest, another thing that helps keep us firmly on the side of the narrator--it's hard to walk away from all that juicy disclosure. A couple of D'Ambrosio quotes that caught my attention: "The whisper and hiss and cranky dyspeptic sputter of a Coleman is as distinct and holy a music as the rev of a Harley. I like the celestial quality of the light, Venusian and green, the rounded simplicity of the mantle, the paint job, of course, and the way one sounds when swung by the bail." "In fact he was an emphatic person the way other people are tenors or baritones, and because I had the window seat and felt trapped I began to get buggy. Everything he said stuck to my skin." "The Crime That Never Was," "Orphans," and "Documents" stood out as my favorites of the bunch, although "Mary Kay Letourneau," "Whaling," "Hell House," and "Biosquat" were all good, too. There are a few other essays here that are already fading for me, but I don't remember any of them being dull while I was reading, so this probably just means they didn't strike me as much as the ones I do remember clearly, not that they weren't also good essays themselves. There's a lot of isolation in these, explorations of different ways of being alone in the world. "Documents" in particular is heartbreaking, partly a view into strained father/son relationships and partly about how families deal with a tragedy that has affected the family as a unit and each member individually and how the different stories each person involved has to tell themselves to move through the tragedy can't always coexist. My one sticking point by the end of the collection is that the tone and voice and cadence is similar between all of these essays (with the possible exception of "Documents," which has a slightly different format and that may be one reason it left such a strong impression on me) so that, by the end, they start to sound too much the same.
