I think books belonging to this genre become convincing when the actions of their authors are properly justified. Also the very engaging way in which he narrates the events showcases the general norms of standard plot structure.

I've been on the fence as well. Have you decided whether or not to read it?Christina Rose wrote: ↑02 Jan 2018, 15:52 When I originally considered reading this book, I think I put it in the “Not Interested” category, but now I can’t remember why. Since it is the BOTM, I’ll probably look into it again. I see the book has mixed reviews, and I’m looking forward to developing my own opinions as I read through it. Thank you all for your insightful opinions!

I'll suggest that you give it a shot. The objectives are addressed interestingly with each story not being more than 4-5 pages. This renders it to be a light read with the entire book being a motley of different emotional encounters.HeatherTasker wrote: ↑14 Jan 2018, 02:30I've been on the fence as well.

Of course, what you make out of it finally is your decision, but solely as a book it makes for an interesting light read.

I'm really glad that this was pointed out because it's definitely something that needs to be called out at the end of the day. Making insensitive comments like that, especially in a book that is meant to be helpful and motivational is an egregious error on the author's part.
Ya know, SP, I do not recall that scenario, for whatever reason. But I am tempted to think that if the author made some insensitive remark about the static misfortune of another, then he must've been expounding on his mental and emotional growth in terms of his perception regarding the matter or he must've been stating a patent fact; for example, 'Ben was in a near fatal accident, he hasn't been the same since, and some (maybe small town info-mill regarding his hospital stay) say he's lost half his brain (literal nerve damage from the accident, perhaps).'
Well, maybe I'll come across that section again some time but, like I say, I do not remember that in the story.
