Customer Reviews of Range of Motion
Another fast read by Elizabeth Berg. RANGE OF MOTION by Elizabeth Berg is the story of Lainey, whose husband Jay is in a coma due to an icicle falling on his head and knocking him out. Lainey sees the humor in all this, and at the same time tries to deal with a future that may not include the love of her life. Her emotions are up and down and she prays and hopes that he will awaken one day. She tries all sorts of things to bring him out of his coma, bringing to the hospital things from home that may stir his mind and help bring him out of the coma. She also spends a lot of time reminiscing about time spent with Jay, the romantic things, the every day things.
At the same time, Lainey notices how her two children are dealing with this tragedy. The oldest Sarah does not seem to be coping well at all, and at times refuses to even see Dad.
Lainey struggles with her emotions, and gets support from her neighbor Alice, who is going through some rough times of her own. The book gets into Alice's troubles, where she is worried that her husband is having an affair with someone at work. The conclusion to this subplot was rather interesting, and I was glad that it got resolved! (The reader was not left hanging).
I think this is my 4th book by Elizabeth Berg, and as with the others I enjoyed reading it a lot. However, I don't feel this is my favorite of her books. I was expecting something with more substance. The book was well-written as all her books are, but I felt that she could have delved more into Lainey's past with Jay and maybe got more into detail about the relationship with the two daugthers. Overall, though, this was a good read!
An emotional, wonderful, passionate look at life
Most romances are described in great detail: heaving bosoms, bulging biceps, vows of undying love, and, despite such exertion, an inescapable sense of insincerity. Why all the fuss just to say "I love you?"
Range of Motion is a true love story. Lainey and Jay love each other with a fierce and stunning passion demonstrated not by outlandish gymnastics but by quiet, sweet rituals. And when Jay, lies in a coma as the result of a freak accident, it is these rituals that Lainey believes will bring him back to her.
This story is so rich and celebratory of life and love - among spouses, among children, among friends - I often find myself thinking of the characters with absolute joy and elation.
I read this book on vacation in the woods of northern Michigan. When I finished, I wiped the tears from my eyes and saw my own love standing before me. Inspired by Elizabeth Berg's beautiful book, I eagerly accepted his outstreched hand, and his gift of love this story taught me to laud and revere
Range of Motion
This was without a doubt one of the best books I've read in some time. Elizabeth Berg has made Lainey, the main character, so belivable. You feel like one of your best friends is hurting and there's nothing you can do about it. This book was about such sadness and pain (both for Lainey and her friend Alice), but also about profound joy, and a real appreciation for the little things in life we take for granted. I will definatly read more by this author, and recommend this book to all.
