Editorial Reviews

From the Author

What makes my book "The end is the beginning" unique is- 

The fact I am 13 years old.  I wrote it, have the capability to self publish
and now market it completely on my own. When I first began to write my
book people asked me, "what is your main goal?"  I said, to write a book
of hope from a teenager's point of view.  To write something that is not
filled with technical jargon.  I believe my reader friendly style of writing
makes my book something that people want to read.
 
My predominate aim was to realize my own potential, develop my abilities
and prove my capability.  This book truly helped explain "ME" to "MYSELF".

5.0 out of 5 stars The end is the beginning, January 2, 2011
This review is from: The end is the beginning (Paperback)
It is good that children can write about their traumtic experiences, put closure on their past and move forward. Happy he was adopted by a caring family. Keep strong and keep writing.

4.0 out of 5 stars heartbreaking, June 1, 2011

I am truly happy that he was able to write about his experiences and find a happy ending to the tragic life he had as a child. Hopefully other young adults will be able to read his story and find strength and hope. The book is extremely short (I read it in about half an hour) and extremely sad. For such a young author it is well written and offers a glimpse into the horrid life he had.
