This book was wonderful and refreshing to read. Unlike the majority of Mormon Fiction, this story is believable. The charaters are well developed and realistic. The story is written so that it entertains and teaches at the same time. I love the philosophical questions that the main charater Specher has. They are questions that any young person asks and attempts to find answers to. This book is perfect for those lazy Thursdays when you are in a thinking mood and need something to indentify with.

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.

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.

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.

This is a book you don't put down until you're finished. It is full of insights into real life that most of us face at one time or other in our lives. The story line is like a fantasy of a teenager or person in their 20s or early 30s. Even though I'm much older I could identify with the events of the story and relate them to events that still occur in my life. The book deserves a second reading because it is so full of insights that you need to read it again to focus on each of them one at a time.

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!

This book reaches inside the hearts and souls of all its readers, any age. It ignites a flame for life inside your heart. It reminds you of the sweet child-like innocence life can so quickly rush you away from. It is realistic, very down to earth. It is certainly a keeper, a re-reader.

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.

This book was great. I kept wanting to read more. It made me want to do better and better each day. It was definatley thought provoking. I can't wait until the next book is published.

I took it with me on vacation to Kauai and read it on the airplane instead of looking out the window at the beautiful volcanic islands below me, I read it laying on the beach instead of going for an early morning snorkle, I read it in the car instead of admiring all the beautiful scenery on the Garden Island but I don't feel like I missed out on anything.

It's easy reading but thought provoking and inspiring. Makes me want to make a point of enjoying life more and stop just imagining what it would be like to do all the things I want to do. Thanks S. B. Roundy!
