Customer Reviews

Amos

Enjoyed this book very much. Had a different ending than expected, which was great. Loved it!

A good read, but disturbing

I enjoyed this book, but only gave it 4 stars because the subject matter was very hard for me to read. If you have any relatives in nursing homes, this story will hit home. The plot is all the more disturbing because it is based on true events from a real nursing home. West again creates characters who are dynamic and persever even when faced with amazing odds.

Brilliant Book

An extraordinary book, highly entertaining and very suspenseful. A celebration of the human spirit!
