I was immediately swept into the lives of the charactors as soon as I opened the book. I found myself reading it all night long because I was engulfed with anticipation of what would happen next. I am anxiously awaiting the rest of the adventures in the series!
Motivationally philisophical
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
From the start it gave me a new way to think about life. About what is important, and where I stand in my attempt to follow my dreams. It also gave motivation to work a little harder at making the time for the activities that I love. Living and going to school in the area where the story starts, it was so easy to imagine myself as the character in the story, to feel like I was the one having the adventure. I could not put it down and when I got to the end, I wanted to start over so that I would not have to quit reading/living the adventure. I can't wait to read the next one.
Move Over Weyland and Jorgesons

I enjoyed this work as much or more as anything that I have read by other famous authors. Seldom do I pickup a book that I don't put back down until I have completed it(6 hours later). This story reminds me of many experiences and inner feelings that I have had personally in my life as I went through that same age period and some feelings that we can all do well to be reminded of or learn over. Good Luck on all of your future projests.
totally believable adventure romance
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
i loved this book because it's the first adventure-romance novel i felt like i could relate to. not because anything really similiar happened in that type of setting for me, but i could visualize it happening and me being there and feeling everything like that. shaun has a style that puts the reader right in the situation, as if you were actually there. this book shows an aspect of life that you don't usually get in most books. i would compare it to stumbling across an old map showing where to find a hidden treasure--a treasure found in life.
It's a great life guide. Nothing compares.

This is seriously one of the best books that I've read. After reading it all I wanted to do was take all of my dates cross-country skiing into the mountains. It was written in a way that I could just dive into it. The philosophies on life that he suggests are a lot of what I want to live by. I gave it out to a couple of people for christmas presents, and they have come back to buy more and give them to there friends. I highly, highly reccomend this book.
