During the years he spends in a neural health facility, Pat Peoples formulates a theory about silver linings: he believes his life is a movie produced by God, his mission is to become physically fit and emotionally supportive, and his happy ending will be the return of his estranged wife, Nikki.
The problem is that Pat is now home, living with his parents, and everything seems off; no one will talk to him about Nikki; his old friends are saddled with families; the Philadelphia Eagles keep losing, making his father moody; and his new therapist seems to be recommending adultery as a form of therapy.
The result is a touching and funny story that helps us look at both depression and love in a wonderfully refreshing way. The book is very different from the movie. They're both very good. The author overdoes the childlike narration a bit for my taste, but still an interesting story told well.
Very good story, excellent narrator! Some parts of the book had me smiling as I was listening. I'm glad I took the time to listen to it before seeing the movie.
I haven't watched the movie but wanted to read the book first. It was very good and well narrated. I suspect the movie cut out a lot of the book. By clicking "Notify Me" you consent to receiving electronic marketing communications from Audiobooks.
