Not anywhere near as well done as his other books ( ) After some heavy reading, I wanted something light and uplifting. Well, I got corny and cliched which, I guess, meets my previous criteria but not necessarily in a good way. Because it's such predictable fluff with a dull wholesome message, it's easy to finish - there are some tear jerker passages and a grand finale which buoyed me through... although the Christian subtext was rather creepy for me (in the sense that I didn't expect it when I picked up the book). It was ultimately worth what I paid for it nothing. I suppose it's a good beach read in the sense that it can be left behind or even forgotten there with no regrets. "As the Stomach Turns"--daytime soap opera. That's what this book feels like. After the initial draw of an unexpected death, the survivor deals with children, relationships and drama. There was no mystery, no murder, no fun. Just the ongoing family reconstruction. The supposed plot twists were just like limp asparagus. I put it in the category of DNF.
“Wish You Well” is arguably one of Baldacci’s best books, and he tries to recreate that experience with “One Summer.” Abandoning his usual thriller style is a bit of a gamble, and it will be interesting to watch whether readers will embrace or discard his latest book. Baldacci’s muscle-bound style doesn’t do subtle: He is best at choreographing fight scenes, rescues and dire brushes with severe weather, all of which, thankfully, are here in abundance. Overall, though, the stilted language and trite sentimentalism are yawn-inducing. Yes, it possesses all the subtlety of a dog fight, but it's also choked with pap ("No matter what you do, no matter how hard you fight, life sometimes just doesn't make sense") and so sappy you'd think Baldacci was earning a commission on each tear jerked.
