Heartwarming..I loved it! - Rated
I have just finished this book and felt compelled to post my review here.
The story was lovely,well written and with characters that I felt I got to know so well and really cared about.
The writing is easy on the eye and without wishing to sound negative about the writing you don't have to concentrate too much-just sit back relax and enjoy this sad but lovely story.
In response to the last review-why not add the pictures?In my opinion they help personalise the story-I can clearly see Leo doodling away in his notebook while travelling with Eleni in South America.
I loved it and miss it now...
I wish all books had the same effect on me!
Well done Danny!
why - Rated
i tried so hard to like this, but found the text very akward and full of what I can only call over the top cliches. Who ever thought to put the drawings in need to think again.It does not add anything to this story but makes it all together an embrassing babyish mess.However i did feel slightly moved at times but this was only to be the kettle on and the cat out.
Not really as good as it professes to be... - Rated
The story is indeed heartwarming, and given the fact that the grandfather's story is based in fiction makes it all the more so incredible. However, I found the style of writing, especially of Leo's story, all a little bit cliched. This in itself i think speaks volumes of the authors current abilities; he can write passionately and believably about the story which touched his life (his grandfather), but the true 'novel' part of the book (Leo's story) is much less convincing. Still worth reading but to say it 'knocks spots off Sebastian Faulks' is quite laughable really. Kind of like when Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Cars' was #1 in the all time chart recently. Nice effort Danny but I think (and hope) there is more and better to come.
Outstanding and inspirational - Rated
I am an avid reader. I have to say that in all my life I have never read a book as good as this. This is the book that I wanted every book to be and never was. It is a brilliant novel, it is moving, and it is deeply profound. I have just bought five copys to give to my friends as it touched me so deeply. I cannot recommend it enough. One of my previous favourite authors was Sebastian Faulks but this knocks socks off him. This is unlike anything you will ever read and it could even change your life.
Superb - great story and thought provoking - Rated
I was not sure what to expect when I picked this book up, having tried other books that proclaim to be about love and emotion and failed to see them through, I was amazed at how engrossing this book is and how well written. The characters seem real as does the situation, so it is easy to place yourself in their shoes - but not an easy thing to do with the emotion of the stories. Its only when you get to the end do you realise how real. For all those who wonder about what love really can mean or actually is, or for those who believe in finding your soulmate..read on..
