Three friends on a boring journey to nowhere seems a bad idea. And the author used 451 pages for it? There must be a redeeming value in those pages.

Thanks for searching for it. Too bad you didn't seem to find it.

Hahahaha. Now when you put it that way, it just cracks me up. You are right, I spent so much time trying to find the point to the whole book, but it was a futile search and suddenly, the book ended abruptly. So I'm like, what the...?
I appreciate you stopping by, thanks a lot. Cheers

I really like the style of your writing and liked how you listed many positive points even though you found it so boring. Maybe the book would be better if it had a stronger plot to carry it. Don't think I'll be reading this one!

Thanks a lot for your kind comments. I'm really grateful for mentioning the things that you did mention. You are right, a stronger plot would do wonders for the story. Thank you very much once again. Hugs hugs

Ayosinmi, Thanks for the review. But by the sound of your feedbacks it does not even deserve a 2 star rating. :(

The rating of a book isn't only based on whether the reader enjoyed it or not. I didn't enjoy it but it was well written, perfectly edited, it had many things going for it, I had to rate it appropriately. The story, if there's any at all, bored me stiff. But it teaches some core values of life. I always try to be objective in my reviews. Thanks for your comment. I love it

I dont see why authors do it- end the books abruptly. It is important to keep the pace. They take is slow in the start and then rush it in the end. Nice take on the review.

? honestly, a little more time and effort would probably have made a difference to the story. I think it's slow in the beginning because they mostly introduce their characters and their different complexities. Thanks for your comment dear. I appreciate it a lot

Too bad you found this dragging. Would have to pass on this one even though I found its plot interesting. Thanks for this honest review!

Yes. I wish it was otherwise. Meanwhile, you will still get a free ride through the cities of America. Thanks a lot Czarmaine. I appreciate your time and input. Cheers

It's my pleasure Izesicle. I really appreciate your coming here to drop a comment. Yes, they had really high expectations when they first started out at California but soon realized that it wasn't working. I look forward to more from you dear. Cheers

Nice review! It is very interesting to read about adventurous trips. I think I am going to read this one.
What is the most special thing I did today- I was MYSELF. Happy and in love and unapologetically myself.
