By Heather Martin - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Life Worth Dreaming About (Paperback)
Though the novel starts slow and the prose is choppy, once
you get used to the style, it is well worth the read. A love story that
recognizes that the marriage is the destination, the wedding. And the
foundation lays in the life around you and in yourself, not the other person. A
man finds redemption, and realizes that his actions affect everyone around
him-in small and big ways. These are just a few values that seem to missing in
a lot of entertainment today. I, literally, did not put down this book.

This review is from: A Life Worth Dreaming About (Paperback)
A Life Worth Dreaming About had a bit of a slow start, but
once you get into it, it is a fairly good book. It kind of has a
"Christmas Carol" vibe to it, where a pompous, arrogant business man
gets a chance to take a look at his life and all of the people he did wrong in
his past as a ghost. He gets the opportunity to learn from his mistakes and
change the bad events in his life to change the course of the rest of this life
going forward. The book is interesting and feel good. I liked it.

4 of 5 star
bookshelves: to-read
Read in February, 2013
Finally, a book for grown-ups! A love story that relizes the
foundation is in the life around you. If you and your life aren't right, how
can another person fit? The wedding isn't the destionation, the life after is.
Redemption comes to Carl. As it does, he realizes his life and actions affect
those around him in small and large ways.
These are just 2 concepts in this book I was so happy to
see. They seem to be missing in a lot of entertinment today.
There were flaws. It starts out slow, and the prose is
choppy. (And some English teacher is going to have field day w/ the numbers.)
Once you get used to it, the story flows. I, literally, did not put this book
down.
I won a copy of this book, and Mr. Dettmann had to remind to
read it. I'm glad he did. This will become a gem in my library.
