when I listen to a title I like for the author to get to the point. there was so much simile and description that it felt like Overkill. there's a certain amount of description you have to provide but if it doesn't really contribute to the story it's just annoying. but that's not the worst thing. I felt like the end didn't really end. what happens to the boy who is torturing everyone remotely? this guy just sails off into the sunset? after he made the main character someone who dug deeper why would he just allow this to continue? I would imagine that Joe would keep digging until he stopped what was happening to other people by this evil organization. it didn't make any sense that he would just stop and sit on a beach and reflect about his life. felt very fragmented. so much more could have been done with this story. maybe they're needed to be a second book describing what happened to these children that are used for their gifts. too many unanswered questions. good story but very disappointing ending.

This is not my favorite book that she has written but it does have some redeeming qualities.

First of all I want to say that the reading of this book was perfect. The narrator did an incredible job. It makes a story so much more enjoyable when you feel like the person reading it is actually the person being written about. I feel like Will led a life that was sad and happy like most of us and full of lessons learned some the hard way. All of us can relate to that. I love to learn about the history of our country and this is a book that will teach you. It's one man's perspective of that time in our nation and I think everyone needs to read and understand what happened to the Indians and during the civil war. I highly recommend it.

I thought this would be better than the movie but it's not. The reader is excellent but the content is very high school in nature. She drones on about her empty days and drags you through them with her and you feel the emptiness. How could you not? The scene where she hides in the bathroom during Karaoke and has a melt down made me wonder if she needed therapy it was so over the top ridiculous. It was dull and uninteresting and moved very slow. I guess I expected it to be more insightful and have more substance but it ran on like, this is what I did today and it was nothing great. That's how it reads. Nothing great.

I truly enjoyed it. The details were rich and beautiful. I knew the story from the movie but the book deepened the meaning. One of the best performances ever!

It kept me involved the whole time. You don't know until the very last chapter what happened and not even then. I could have done without the foul language. I don't think it added to the story at all in fact it kind of took away from it for me. There were parts of it that were disturbing.

I really thought this was going to be better than it is. The story lines are very predictable. The guy who reads it sounds like a robot there's no emotion in his voice. All the characters are so intense about their relationships and that's not real. Men don't sit around and pine away for women. Maybe that's what a woman thinks they do and this is why it's obvious this was written by a woman. It does have some good moments but overall it's not my favorite read. I bought it years ago and I just can't stay interested in it enough to finish it.

He writes like he's having a personal conversation with his friend. That's how you feel when you're listening to the story. It's his history and his information he's learned the hard way and it's a valuable thing to know. it's never easy to expose yourself emotionally but he does it so easily as if you're a trusted friend who won't judge him too harshly. We all assume actors are lucky and successful so they must be charmed and perfect inside and out. They're not. They're human just like everyone else with problems and struggles same as anyone else. Without sounding condescending I'm proud of him for writing this and being brave. I'm proud of him for loving the people who hurt him and for realizing that he can love himself.

I really enjoyed this book. I like listening to her thoughts and related to just about all of it. I'm the same age. Every now and then you find a book and it feels like a treasure. That's what this one is. There were moments where I just laughed out loud. Lots of wisdom! It's a very fun read.
