The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud

I just finished reading The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud and I LOVED it! I can't wait to see the movie this weekend. However, just by watching the previews, I can tell the movie is going to be totally different from the book. Bums me out...just a little.


Anyways, this book is not what I expected at all. There is a twist in the book that makes the story interesting and unusual. I have never read a love story like this. I used to think cemeteries were creepy, but after reading this book, I have a new outlook.
This is a MUST read!


SYNOPSIS

Into a snug New England fishing village. Charlie St. Cloud tends the lawns and monuments of an ancient cemetery where his younger brother, Sam, is buried. After surviving the car accident that claimed his brother's life, Charlie is graced with an extraordinary gift: He can see, talk to, and even play catch with Sam's spirit. Into this magical world comes Tess Carroll, a captivating woman training for a solo sailing trip around the globe. Fate steers her boat into a treacherous storm that propels her into Charlie's life. Their beautiful and uncommon connection leads to a race against time and a choice between death and life, between the past and the future, between holding on and letting go - and the discovery that miracles can happen if we simply open our hearts.
