Postcards From A Dead Girl (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
I liked how Farber found the humor in Sid's unraveling; it was spot on. Depressed people who keep their sense of humor think like this, at least I did. It was good, it really was. Intriguing, rhythmic...I really thought we were being set up for some twists or reveals or some sort of glorious denouement. That's my only problem. The ending didn't honor the rest of the story. We climbed and climbed and then...we didn't jump off, we didn't float away, we didn't soar. We just stumbled and laid down at the top. All done. This is a mystery, of sorts, but not a typical mystery. One that is dealt with by a person who keeps receiving postcards, despite the almost complete certainty that the person who is the source of the obsession is indeed dead. Makes one think, why would a person do this? More importantly, what could possibly be the benefit? A good read, with the emotion at a low yet steady beam that keeps it alive.

I get what it was trying to do, and it did it fairly well, but I overall I was a bit disappointed.
