The main point in "The Boy Who Fell Out of the Sky" is what?

Question

Loss of parents is bad? Loss of a sibling is bad? This similar to God losing his children, Eve and Adam? Now Ken works for PBS?

THE BOY WHO FELL OUT OF THE SKY – Ken and David Dornstein did lose their parents. They lost their mother to a mental disease. David was obsessed with writing and being a success and it made him sick. Ken didn't know what he wanted to do in his life and when his brother died, he just kind of "eased" into David's unfinished life. He became a writer, married his brother’s long-time girlfriend. They have a sister, who is a doctor, (too well-adjusted to fit his worldview) and she doesn't play into the story at all and is only mentioned in passing. Ken really doesn't like women (Aristotle the philosopher wrote that women are inferior and Slavery is fine). He doesn't ever show any compassion for his wife. He doesn't speak of her as a person, with a personality, she just happens to be his wife, his brother’s girlfriend.

Answer 1

Coming to terms - or trying to - with the untimely death of someone you greatly loved.

"If you have ever had a brother, or grieved for a love one who has died, then you will find this book more than a little bit worthwhile. And if you haven't had either one of those things, you will probably still see yourself within these pages.

Ken Dornstein's The Boy Who Fell Out Of The Sky is the story of the author's quest to understand his brother's life, in the context of his untimely death at the hands of terrorists. His older brother David was killed in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988, and the author has lived under the pall of these events ever since.
What is truly striking about The Boy Who Fell Out Of The Sky, though, is the author's honesty. David Dornstein's insight into his brother's nature, strengths and shortcomings, as well as his own, is astonishing, and left me wondering about how heartbreaking this project must truly have been for him.
In his search for his brother amid the belongings and people that he left behind, the author learns what it means to grieve. If you have never been to this place, then you are fortunate; if you have, then you will find truth in these pages and solace in the solidarity of those who have loved and lost. There are no easy answers for those who are left behind when a loved one dies, and through telling this poignant story Ken Dornstein opens a window onto his own personal grief experience and invites us all to have a look.
The author learned about himself while writing this book, and readers can learn about themselves while reading it. This is the kind of book that will make you stop and reflect on your own life in ways that might surprise you."
