Lost and Wanted

I'm not sure what I expected from this book when I put it on my list to read. Maybe it was the physics part of the book. At any rate, I was a little unsure starting, but it kept my attention through to the end.

I like the author's voice. Freudenberger's writing flows well and the character dialogue sounds natural. I thought the 7 year-old characterization hit the nail on the head. It took a bit, but I eventually made a connection of the mysterious forces of the universe being like the mysterious influences we have on each other. I don't know if that was the author's intent, but it came across to me. The tension in the relationships felt authentic to me, as well.

At the end, I felt discouraged. Maybe I missed a point, but I came away feeling a lack of hope and left with an idea that many of us are looking for something we will never find.
