Book review on enduring love

The basic storey line to the concord is alone about a man who construes a ballooning accident where he and a meeting of other guys try to pull bundle a balloon that has a boy in, which is the captain of the air balloons grandson so they ar all memory it down trying to get the kid out and a strong gust of wind blows the balloon up and the four guys unflurried holding on are pulled up with it but before it gets as well as high three of the four Jump glowering to safety which houseman leaves one guy called Logan hanging on to the rope after a couple of minutes Logan looses his empale and slips to the actually end of the ope or a dampen second he continues to hold on but in the long run again his grip goes and he drops to his death in front of this gang of people. After the incident the main character for the rest of the bear is fitting left with this over riding feeling of guilt, but also deeper in that location was a man at the accident who comes a bureau with almos t transport traumatic stress and as an onlooker as the bear witnesser you experience him become uncontrollably obsessed with the main character in the book and by the end of the book Jed whom is obsessed causes Joe and cassia his girlfriend to split up simply by getting in to Joes head by dint of the couple of letters he sends him.The book takes in the story many(prenominal) months to get the middle of the plot but the book passes within a year. To me what happened in terms of the accident is unusual as you dont here alive air balloon accidents e very(prenominal)day and the after events Im sure happen but dont come to light as this one did for example the fact Jed walk Joe so relentlessly for that period of time so openly is never bawl outed about let alone written in a book The storyline right from the begging grips you as it opens with the main character performing as a narrator talking through the day when he had a role to play in the loss of life and monstrosity accide nt caused itCharacters Real main characters in the book for me are Joe roseate Joe Rose is a middle-aged successful science Journalist biography with his long-time girlfriend Clarissa Rose in London. He considers himself unattractive and marvels that Clarissa loves him. He is the heading of Jed block offs obsessions. Clarissa Mellon Clarissa is Joes girlfriend and an English professor who specializes in the Romantic poet derriere Keats. She loves children and is in secret devastated that she is barren.She loves Joes totally but she is ruled by her emotions and interpretive intuition. Jed Parry Jed Parry is a lonely young man who lives by himself in a large house he inherited from his mother. He is devoutly Christian, although he doesnt follow any specific sect. He suffers from I feel syndrome that causes him to call back that a stranger is in love with you. (Interestingly enough there is a syndrome called Clearmalts syndrome which has the exactly the same symptoms) The objec t of his obsession is Joe Rose, whom he stalks.Jean Logan Jean Logan is John Logans wife and a history professor at Oxford. She struggles with Johns death, convincing herselt that ne was having an affair. Clarissa was interesting to say the least, as the book opens you hap her to be very warming to Joe rose but very quickly as the reader you see that she now after the accident turns away from Joe you could say that Joe caused well-nigh of the relationship fail but mostly it all comes from Clarissa.You see this instantly as they drive ingleside yes you merchant ship say she all the same is in shock but when they get home the interaction amid both of them is so odd the chatting at the table yes ill say that is figure but what happened after that the sexual contact is benign, I think the reservoir is trying to get cross the fact the two characters are still Jumpy and sketchy after both witnessing such a fearful accident and uses the odd physical contact as a way to show that.I ts very easy to comment on the relationship amid Joe and Clarissa but its harder to talk about the conflicts. Again there is a blindingly distinct one of the conflict between Joe and Clarissa that develops but one I find more interesting is the not conflict but awkwardness between Joe rose and Jean Logan for those who dont subsist is John Logans wife, the conflict if we call it that is when Joe goes cycle to Jeans ouse which may I say is a long drive to talk to her about Jed (the pedo) Joe almost invite himself in and sits time lag as Jeans makes some tea.Long story short the fact that a man that Jean doesnt sack out is sat in her living room as she makes tea for him waiting to talk to her about a guy who has an obsession with him, to me from the offset is adept going to cause so form of mental conflict. Personally all characters depart over the course of the book but easily you can spot the person who changes the most is Joe rose and the start he is very confident and towar ds the end he turns into somebody with very low self-esteem.The biggest and easiest change in the book surprisingly enough isnt Jed I feel its Joe as the effect of the incident is immediate even on the way home the shock of the accident starts to make its mark on Joe and his girlfriend there are long awkward chats in the kitchen and from there it Just goes down hill will say though Jed stalking Joe religiously doesnt stand by things but after what Joe saw, heard and felt that breezy summers day it attach him as a dead man you couldnt see that when you start reading the book but as you dig deeper and start to think in depth more about what happened you easily make connections that urn into ideas and before you know it you find yourself predicting the rest of the book The story was written in eldest person. It helped the story as it put the person into the shoes of the book and sincerely helps the reader to get into the book and truly understand the dilemma that the characters a re in throughout the book.Another factor that helped the reader get a grip n the reader and hold them there until the book unfolds and ends is how the author really puts the reader in the story is how he describes the surroundings that the characters are in and how the time period really elps you not sole(prenominal) believe the story line but shocks you that in this modern age not only do accidents happen like this but the after affects arent picked up by those around the characters for example Jed who is to his own accord until the point that others realise that he is a danger to those around him and society in general.To be completely honest and to wrap up the review id say I would press the book to people but will warn them ot the graphic pedophilia that takes place in the book also the sexual content isnt off putting but in places is hard to get to grips off until you read further on and realise why..
