All the Numbers: A Novel




by Judy Merrill Larsen


Ellen Banks is a divorced single mother raising two sons in Madison, Wisconsin. During their annual summer trip to the lake to visit friends, James, the youngest, is hit by a careless rider on a jet ski. Just hours later, he is declared brain dead and taken off life support. This is the story of how Ellen and her surviving son Daniel cope with their loss.

Although this book received rave reviews on Amazon, I found it flat and boring. There is nothing new in this novel that hasn't already been seen on tv, movies or in better books before. Feels kind of like being stuck in a very long Lifetime movie. Not worthwhile.
