The Test

I enjoyed the book-the unique subject matter--aging ,senile father--distraught,overburdened daughter and their communication and unique intent toward one another. However, the author should have defined chapters. Every page was a continuation of the other. I found it very annoying. Perhaps because it all took place in one day--, pauses and time to reflect through chapters would have made it easier to read(I dept loosing my place-paragraph after paragraph. It was tedious. All in all, the book was well written andthe characters very real and well protrayed. Bravo

The Test is a great novel, perhaps my favorite of Dorothy Bryant's, though it's hard to say because she has so many fine books. I only know that this book is so skillfully written that you believe every word. Superbly drawn characters. Nothing flashy or gratuitous. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the the difficulties of life and how we survive them.
