Thank you for sharing your story. I remember watching the Magnificent 7 win team gold in 1996.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 43
Rick Myers is a despondent 17-year-old who just lost his parents in a car wreck. His family is now the four teenage buddies he's grown up with in a run-down apartment building. Fast with their fists, flip with their mouths, and loyal to a fault, "the crew" is all he has. At least he thinks so until he meets Daisy, an intelligent, independent, self-assured blind girl. Her guts in a world where she's often painfully vulnerable intrigue Rick, and her hopeful outlook inspires him to begin believing in himself.

Any additional comments?
Overall, I thought it was a good book. There are a few things that stuck out for me though. I did not find the blindness to be over whelming, which is good.
The blind girl did not play the part in the story as I thought from reading the description. She played a big part , but not in the way that I anticipated, and you'll have to read to see what I mean. The pacing seemed a bit off, I feel the beginning could have started 4-5 months sooner, and developed that part of it a bit more, gosh, it is hard to explain without giving away plots and spoilers.
the prologue was out of place in my opinion. I think it should have been removed, and those words used for developing the relationship in the beginning of the book.
I know my comments seem kind of negative, but they are more neutral, just things that I noticed. It is a good book, and if you want a nice listen, you could do much much much worse. The strong southern accent of the narrator could take some people a bit to get use to, but because the story takes place in Texas, it does fit, although the narrator could have done a bit better job with editing.
