5.0 out of 5 stars HEART-WARMING - INCREDIBLE READ!, January 13, 2003

This review is from: To Yesterday: A Novel (Paperback)

WOW! This is the type of story that makes you respect life and how important it is to be alive, and to have love or have been loved at some point in life. It is the type of story that is not forgotten and the characters like a new best friend. Mark Wildes, I don't know who you are, but this is what we all need more of in life. I think I will read To Yesterday again. Incredible. Thank you.

And for the record, let me say never has there been a story so well told, who's characters come to Life, and leave you with the feeling that the time spent with them and their lives are so real and so much like our own in many ways.

And for the record, let me say I didn't want To Yesterday To End! Mark Wildes not only wrote a page turner (love those short chapters!) but a love story that will touch your heart with characters who become your friends - characters whom you will care deeply for, characters whom you will identify with in this Journey we all are on called LIFE! You will rejoice with them, cry with them, and even get angry with them as they reveal themselves and the challenges each of them must face. Life is made up of making decisions. And the decisions that everyone makes will always affect someone besides the decision maker. Everyone's lives in To Yesterday are intertwined in a miraculous and mysterious way - Just like our very own!

Enjoy To Yesterday.. Today! Buy this book, get lost in it, then pass this marvelous story on and on and on. Do check out the website - It is an awesome site! ...

Never has there been a story written like this, and that dear reader is the highest compliment that can be paid to a writer like Mark Wildes... Thank you Mark Wildes for touching my life and the lives of many with a beautiful story - a great read that I didn't want To End! Cheers To Yesterday..Cheers To Tomorrow and Cheers to Life!

I picked up a copy of this book at Goodwill. I can tell whoever donated it had not even read it. I decided to start reading it early on a Sunday morning. WOW, I finished it Sunday afternoon. Once you get started you can't put it down. I carried it with me reading as I went to the kitchen to make lunch and hardly put it down.
It is an absolutely enjoyable book. An incredible love story with so many other stories interwoven. You cry, you get happy, your moods swing around with the characters in this book, it is amazing.
You will not be sorry to pick this book up. I came online hoping to find more by this author, he is very gifted.
Enjoy!!
