Latest Review: The Different Kinds Of Monsters by Seth Chambers

Re: Review of Filling Up a Hole

Post by Urvashi Tripathi »

I believe each of us have some kind of emptiness in our life's and want to fill it anyhow but maybe later we just give up and get depress about it. As you explained, I liked Tommy's character and found it relatable for me. The second thing I liked is book cover design, it just a smart work, ‘The business of life’ written on it is going with the plot. Thank you for the amazing review, will try to pick this book soon!!

Dodie's character is encouraging and Tommy's character is relatable. You wrote a great review. Keep it up!

Boyce's type of head of the family is just disappointing. I'm not trying to give my prejudices, but let's admit it, Boyce has the hole, not his wife. Great review though.

Yes, you are right he recognizes this hole after the great incident of the family but Dodie recognized it at her small age only. Thank you for the insight!

By looking at the title and the book cover, I had assumed that this was a self-help book. But your review has lead me to believe that this is actually a novel. I'm sure that many people can relate to the characters' personal struggles with their family members.

Thank you for your detailed review.

Yes, they can relate to the characters in the book to themselves and other people as well. I'm glad it helped you!
