Book Review: The Lemon Table


Just finished this book tonight. I'm not quite sure what to make of it. So it's a collection of stories about different people facing the ends of their lives and how they approach it...some are fine, some are fighting it and some are just down right pissed off. It's written kind of strange though, I'm not quite sure if I enjoyed it...it was just plain wierd. It's not nearly as morbid as my description makes it sound...it's just strange. I didn't understand the reference to lemons, but during the last 3 pages of the book they talk about how in the chinese or japanese culture the lemon is a sign of death...so this guy asks for lemons when he realizes it is his time - wow, not that deep or interesting.
