beautifully written Jul 08, 2009
By Lisa Emmerich
Aftermath by Scott Campbell is a wonderfully written book in which the characters leap off the page straight into your imagination. I could not put this book down and finished it in three days. The characters completely captured me. I liked them, disagreed with them, found myself to be angry with their decisions, and I worried about them. It is a book that you see yourself in at times, and sometimes find yourself struggling to understand the characters' decisions. It is true to life and a beautifully written book. Well done, Scott.

A Deeply Moving Novel Jul 07, 2009
By Violet Quill
Scott Campbell's "Afterlife" is an extraordinary novel. The premise -- a painter who is commissioned to do a portrait of a brother and sister -- is fertile ground for exploring longing, loss, and finding the courage to move on. The characters leap off the page in their vulnerability and complexity. This is a novel without villains but rather with ordinary, flawed people who are trying to find a way to love in a world that can be harsh and unpredictable. I recommend this book most highly.

Consider Aftermath for your book group! Feb 27, 2010
By Diane M. Felicio
In the last few months I have started a handful of "must read" novels only to have them leave my side by the third chapter. Not so with Aftermath. Scott Campbell captured the essence of a family system caught up in the silences and realities of loss and heartbreak. From chapter to chapter I was held by words, stories, and moments of recognition filled with ache and wonder. Although I did not read Aftermath with others, I would highly recommend it as a group read. Lots to discuss, mull, and consider. Very well done!
I loved this book! Jul 03, 2009
By astarr
I was so moved by this book in so many different ways....I cried. I loved the characters, the minute unfolding of their self discoveries, the sort of layering in the juxtaposition of their lives, their mirrorings of one another. I thought, this is just how life is, I know it. They were so distinctly drawn -- unfinished, groping for the next thing. Reading it was like entering into the comfort of a great tale -- one imbued with love, pain, humor, surprise and the small irritations of life. What a page turner! Scott Campbell is masterful here.
