I was a little disappointed with this book. I had heard such great things about it. I found it hard to empathize with the family.

I don't tend to scrap "events" on my pages. I lean toward the everday kind of stuff that occurs. Good inspiration for how others tell their stories on their scrapbook pages. Nic Howard is very humorous.

There were parts of this book that I actually had to skip when he delved into mathematic calculations such as PI. However, I loved when he wrote about his emotional growth and relationships.

I really liked this book and the connections between 3 lead characters. It is a quick read and I could not put it down since the book flows so well.

I could not put this book down. A moving story and totally held me (maybe because I am a parent) It was the kind of book that stays with you. I did not find it slow moving because I empathized so much with the characters.

I am still processing this book. But it was unbelievable-heartbreaking in one respect but also taught lessons in kindness and hope. Could not put this one down.

Found this while browsing thru my favorite second hand bookshop. I read it in 3 nights. Good mystery-and pace was good-easy read for a quick escape.
