Now a major motion picture starring George Clooney and directed by Alexander Payne
Fortunes have changed for the King family, descendants of Hawaiian royalty and one of the state’s largest landowners. Matthew King’s daughters—Scottie, a feisty ten-year-old, and Alex, a seventeen-year-old recovering drug addict—are out of control, and their charismatic, thrill-seeking mother, Joanie, lies in a coma after a boat-racing accident. She will soon be taken off life support. As Matt gathers his wife’s friends and family to say their final goodbyes, a difficult situation is made worse by the sudden discovery that there’s one person who hasn’t been told: the man with whom Joanie had been having an affair. Forced to examine what they owe not only to the living but to the dead, Matt, Scottie, and Alex take to the road to find Joanie’s lover, on a memorable journey that leads to unforeseen humor, growth, and profound revelations.

Light-hearted rumination over a family tragedy. Scottie's the most vivid character with the amusing rejoinders coming out of her mouth. But from my perspective, Matt's monologues are sort of repeating one another and seem annoying from time to time. [6/10]

評分很長時間以來我一直想要讀到這樣的故事,她真的太美瞭,把沉重和逗趣不可思議地糅閤在瞭一起,看似單薄的情節中耐心地抒情,不厭其煩地雕刻人物,舒展開雨過天晴後的暮光般的色彩。

評分我告訴很多人,書沒有電影好看。其實不是這樣的。書很好看。可這門書要安安靜靜的慢慢看,我覺得很多人沒有這樣的心境。
