Going to the Sun

I have the book but have yet to begin it. I plan on beginning it this Monday as our school begins Read Across America with a 20 minute D.E.A.R.

Going to the Sun

Hi All, 

this is my first blogging experience.  I finished Going to the Sun yesterday, Sunday, and I was very disappointed.  Perhaps its because of my ignorance of Becket.  I thought the minimalist idea was very simple writing, not nothing much happens and then you die--or you don't die!  I did learn a lot about diabetes that I did not know and could relate to because one of my best friends is about to donate a kidney to her sister who has all the problems that Penny anticipated, she's blind in one eye, has foot problems, basically can't feel her feet and is losing kidney function fast, hence the transplant.  All this despite being a nurse and trying to take very good care of her disease.

What did you think of the man writing from woman's point of view?
