Review # 1 was written on 2010-10-21 00:00:00 Jeff Martin I had to read this book for one of my English classes, and I thought that it was one of the dumbest things that I have ever read. There's just about no internal struggles, as everything magically gets solved or the Spirit tells the dad that everything it alright. There were several things that happened in the course of the book that could never happen in real life. Did she not do any research? And in just about everything that the main character does, he is guided by the Spirit. He always has to make sure that it's the right thing to do by God, and God always tells him. What happened to thinking for yourself? I understand that we're supposed to pray to God about the things that concern us, but God doesn't solve every problem for us. I found the book very shallow, and will never read another one of her books again. Maybe I'm just be overly critical, because I am an English major, but I feel like my own stories have more depth than this one did.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-02-24 00:00:00 Renee Iademarco I've read hardly any LDS fiction, and I've never read this author before. At first I was practically gagging on the syrup, and was totally shocked with what I thought was flat character development. But by the end, Anita Stansfield makes up for flat characters and lots of syrup with some great insights. A good book overall, but not a great book.
