Not at all-- you've hit on the other thing that bothered me-- the idea that suicide is somehow brave. It takes a lot less courage than one would think, to hang on through a process that will End-- getting on with life and actually Living takes a great deal more bravery than that. Given earlier themes in these books, I was really surprised Jo took that shallow a direction with this last book.
