great book!

Not the most uplifting read, but brilliantly insightful writing.....rinehart definitely knows what he's doing.

Built to Last is a great read

Steve Rinehart's novel grabbed my attention on the opening page and after a while I realized that I was standing in the library, had read twenty pages, would rather check out the book and read the rest of it at home in comfort on the sofa. I had other things to do but they went undone until I finished BUILT IN A DAY. As I neared the end I thought, "Sure, it's a great read, but what about the ending? Can he make me believe in the ending?" And yes. The ending is great. Surprising and inevitable, as a good ending should be. If you liked Fred Leebron's IN THE MIDDLE OF ALL THIS, or Elissa Schappell's USE ME, you will probably enjoy BUILT IN A DAY.
