Destiny, Fate, & Death

I finished Skylight Confessions about a week ago and am still debating on how I felt about the book. This novel, by Alice Hoffman, was indeed a page turner and at times a tear jerker. The story is extremely emotional which is odd because the majority of the characters have/show no emotions. The lack of emotions of the characters seems to draw the reader in, enabling you to react to situations in your own way.

Death seemed to appear through out the entire novel. Once finished I was certain that I didn't enjoy the book because all but two characters died. However, now that I think back I am beginning to see the book in a different light. Fate is fate. You can create your own destiny and this destiny relies on the choices you make.

This post is pretty general because I am still debating on how I really feel about this book. Perhaps a re-read will adhere to a better analysis.
