Reviews for the Book
OMG!!!, WHAT A FABULOUS AND INCREDIBLE WRITTEN BOOK!!!! FREAKING LOVED THIS!!!! The story may been about a murder and follows the man that did it... But..... Its so much more than that, so much more. It's about how you choose to live when granted a second chance. It's about how money and power can't equal whats free in life and friendships that are so remarkable and real. I don't exactly know how to explain it, You'll feel like your living it, you'll find a character you can relate to, Or find you picturing your own friends in it. It's truely a book that draws you in to it. You can feel the plot thicken as you read it. Awesome! -- Sharon Richmond
