One felt this novel to be a bit repetious. Others found the "outpouring of mercy" to shed a new light on the characters, "tidbits of quiet wisdom sprinkled throughout" the novel are a major part of the novel's appeal, and that this novel, like the earlier ones, "resonate[s] with poignancy, wisdom, and wit".
