Just wow. Read it. You won’t be sorry, and you won’t forget it for a long, long time.

While some passages were wonderful, others were tortuous and not terribly enjoyable reading. The central plot was weak, but the characters and their lives were more interesting. I think the author is likely capable of better.

What a book. Frenetic and choppy writing style, but one heck of a story.

This book is so beautifully written. It captivated me after a couple chapters and I couldn’t stop reading it until I was done. The characters are developed perfectly & the mysteries are so surprising. I laughed, I cried…this story has everything. Read this!

What a beautifully written book. I’m a voracious reader, and rarely do I find such a moving story. This one will simmer for awhile.

Wonderful, tragic, combining loyalty and heartache in a way that causes the reader to always root for a happy ending, while completely expecting the opposite. The combination of tragedy and hope reminds me of another great book, A Soldier of the Great War by Mark Helprin. Passages in both books become quotes to live by. —I guess that real friendship survives the dark if one “sees” the intermittent light. A focus on even the dimness lights in the darkest dark is what really matters. -bj3

I loved everything about this book! I consider it a must read. My wife convinced me to read it, and I’m so glad she did! I love the authors character development and attention to detail.

Fabulous! Not one to forget easily.

Amazing in every way!
