  "The Next Queen of Heaven" by zacharyasz (see profile) 01/21/11

We had completely mixed reviews of this book. Because of that I had to do 3 stars-couldn't find it in my heart to put 2! This book created lots of discussion; and for that reason alone, it is definitely book club worthy. As one of our book clubbers said, "This book just seemed like lots of incomplete stories that never got wrapped up." We never agreed on any question we posed; what does the title mean/who's it supposed to refer to?; why did Tabitha end up with Jeremy? Is Tabitha really pregnant?Did Leontina, Tabitha or the brothers get anything out of Leontina getting hit on the head and being 'out of it' for weeks?; Why the cute cover? Who's the girl on the cover?; Who is it supposed to represent?; Why kill off the Sister with a truck carrying Christmas Trees? Does that represent anything?
