I can say that I was the one person who really enjoyed this book from my book club. For most it was just a story that they had to read, but I have to say that I truly enjoyed all the little nuances of the book. In fact, I told our creative writing teacher about the premise of the book, that a man authored stories about lost objects that he kept, and so the writing teacher brought in random things and had his students write stories about an object. At least, I'm assuming the blender was for that, since margaritas are illegal on school grounds.
Anyway, I would like to say that I wasn't particularly excited about the ghost aspect of the story. I was caught very unaware of the fact that there were extra characters in the story that I couldn't see or distinguish. I did, however, love the relationship between Bomber and Eleanor? (I'm horrible with remembering names). I thought that their relationship was just so sweet. She loved him, and he her, but it was to be forever platonic. But they were a fun couple, and they were family to each other, with the dogs as their kids. I loved Sunshine and her ability to surprise everyone with her amazing sense of awareness despite the fact that she had down's syndrome.
It was a feel good book, and one I needed to read after some heavy-hearted books, and it came at just the right time. So I truly enjoyed the book. Just not the ghost part. I thought that part was kind of stupid.
