The Carousel - by Richard Paul Evans


The Carousel: A Novel

I have just had lots of time sitting in doctor's offices - and therefore lots of time to read.

I really like Richard Paul Evans as a writer. He is a really fantastic writer. Plus, he is nice to read when lots of things are going on around me - his books are easy to read and not very heavy. They are books that you can get interrupted and pick back up easily. I needed that kind of book right now.

The story is a love story. But it is not without its heartache. Michael is in love with Faye. In my opinion, Faye is more in love in the beginning with status and gaining the world. It isn't until she experiences loss that she realizes that having it all - having the whole world is meaningless if those you love are not there to share it with you. And finally, she realized that it is love that helps to heal the heart after loss. Michael was always loving, steadfast and loyal but it took awhile for Faye to realize that she felt the same way toward Michael.
