Re: Review by Espie -- Strong Heart by Charlie Sheldon
I had initial inklings about how the book's cover, title, and theme could all tie up together, too. I wouldn't be able to say that I perfectly guessed what really is the case, though. However, I hope you'd read and find this piece as noteworthy and worth reading as I did. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your kind words.Kister Bless wrote: ↑20 Nov 2018, 16:13 The title of the book itself is so intriguing. I love Sarah Cooley's story and would love to read every bit of it. Great review!

It's not a straightforward read at first instance just as life could be tumultuous at times, too. However, it has fantastical tinges of what could be amidst realistic details also gleanable in reality. I do understand that we all have varying preferences and corresponding choices. Thus, thank you for your honest comments.Georgia Lyonhyde wrote: ↑20 Nov 2018, 16:35 I'm not entirely won over with this book. I think it's something I could enjoy but at present it seems too complex for me to want to entertain right now.
Perhaps I'll read more reviews in the future and consider it again.

I wouldn't wonder about your decision at all, indeed. Spoilers aside, I agree that there are heaps of insights that we could glean from this piece. Thank you for your humbling appreciative words.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑20 Nov 2018, 17:13 I also give the book 4 out of 4. It is challenging to read Sarah's adventures with the canoe people. But that's part of the experience of awakening that the reader goes through with Strong Heart.
You wrote a stunning review!

This book could indeed be as adventurous as life could be for some that could be burdensome for some but is a challenge to overcome for others. It turned out differently from what I've expected, but I hope you'd read and find this piece as worthwhile as I did. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your kind words.

I understand and respect the unique individual perspectives and corresponding preferences we all have. Thank you for dropping by and for sharing your thoughts.hsimone wrote: ↑20 Nov 2018, 17:45 What a great combination - a headstrong orphan girl and her grandfather. It's definitely great to know Sarah's experience was extraordinary. It's nice to know that you liked how the story weaved in convention and tradition with some of the folklore that Tom didn't believe in. Too bad about the errors found here, but it's nice that the author included some of his personal background into his story. I actually read this. It wasn't my favorite book and I had a hard time enjoying it, but I'm glad you did! Thanks for sharing!

It could start off as arduous as life could really be for those of us in direr or more challenging situations. More often than not, that journey entails not easily giving up to eventually reach and see the more noteworthy realms. The good thing about our life is that there's always a chance to try once more even if we failed the first or even the second time around. There's always hope. Thank you for dropping by and for your honesty.
