Title: Making Sense
Author: Jim Murdoch
Genre: Short Stories/fiction
Review:
This is one of those books that makes you think. You know, one of those make-you-pause-in-your-busy-life-and-just-think type of book. Readers looking for a book with a strong plot should not read this book. Readers looking to reflect and look at the 5 senses differently should pick up this book. I love the concept of this book: Murdoch explores the "other" senses not categorized into the usual 5 senses, like sense of humor, sense of acceptance, sense of love, etc.
As I mentioned before, there really is no beginning, middle or end in Making Sense. Rather, you get to meet an array of different characters in each short story. Each character explores what life means to them. In each "meet the character" story, readers get to explore a new "sense." I must say, the characters you meet in Making Sense are some of the most diverse characters you will ever meet.
