5.0 out of 5 stars touching, October 16, 2005

Carty's Somewhere Beyond Here is a touching story that focuses on the relationship between a young man (Gray Taylor) and his mother. Gray's fight with inner demons and his road to self discovery make for a read that will awaken your spirit and remind you what is ultimately important in your life. Though poorly edited and a bit overpriced, Carty has fashioned a novel that's message will stick with you long after the final page- which is why I chose to give the book 5 stars instead of 4. I look forward to all future Austin Carty books.

4.0 out of 5 stars impressed, October 18, 2005

This review is from: Somewhere Beyond Here (Paperback)

I was loaned a copy of Somewhere Beyond Here nearly a year ago by a friend who had met Carty at a signing at a local Barnes and Noble. She had gushed about the book, but I never got around to reading it until two days ago. The book is a page turner. I read it in one day. It was simple and direct. I was crying less than two pages into it. As a mother with a young son, I was touched by the story. I would recommend this book to any mother who is proud of her son.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grab Some Tissues..., January 25, 2006

This review is from: Somewhere Beyond Here (Paperback)

I purchased this book from Barnes and Noble two Christmas's ago at a signing Mr. Carty was having. Way led onto way and I never got around to reading the book. Now that there is a large buzz around our town of High Point about Austin being on Survivor, I finally pulled Somewhere Beyond Here off the shelf. I started it at 4 PM yesterday and 4 hours later I was still sitting on my couch crying. Carty pulls you in on page one, the tears begin falling on page two, and they don't stop until you close the book. Upon reflection, it is hard to believe a twenty- year old kid (his supposed age when he penned this book) has such depth. I agree with a fellow reviewer, the book is in need of professional editing; but anyone with a sense of literature will know to overlook that and will realize that this young man will truly be churning out inspirational stories for years to come. I for one can't wait. So proud to be from his hometown.
