Wow, I am sold! I just wish that I could buy the movie rights, as this could be academy an award potential. I travel extensively in buisness, and I read many a ook on jets and waitng at airports. Some of my likes are Tom Clancy, Steven King, John Grisham, Michael Crichton, and I hev absically read all of their books. I picked this book up by a flook recently,and I am glad that I did. This book gave put me on an emotional journey, and it made me think all of the way about events in my own past life, and I could on and on, but I will not. All that I can say is that the author has been able to grasp the essential secret of writing that will make me yearn for more of his works, such as I do for the above named authors! Truly, a qualuity pice of work, and yes, I believe that it would meake a great movie!

It's amazing all the power, emotions and feelings packed into one book. Instantly, one of my all time favorites. You actually get so involved that you start to talk to people about a story they have never read. Everyone should read this book!

This book brings out every emotion possible.
It is a story that is so intense and heart felt that I hated to put it down and couldn't wait to pick it back up!
It's amazing how someone so different can bring out the best and the worst in people. I was fascinated with how the author captured real human feelings. It made you laugh, it made you cry, and it DEFINITELY made you think.
This book is so powerful. It is a "must read" book that I recommend to everyone.
Richard Schotts has done an incredible job.
Beautifully written. Makes you actually feel like you are in the story. A definite must!
