Official Review: Strong Heart by Charlie Sheldon

Spirit Wandering · Post by **Spirit Wandering** » 20 Sep 2017, 18:41

I have read Strong Heart. I really liked Sarah and William, Tom not so much. I agree with the reviewer than the ending was abrupt and left some questions-perhaps for a sequel? I really prefer it when a book wraps up the current plot points and set up new ones for any planned sequels. For that reason, I would rate this one 3 stars.

Thanks for the honest review. I am interested to follow Sarah and Tom in their adventure. The author successfully mixed science and legend in this story which made it unique. The readers will find themselves hanging and want for more. This is perfect for those who love drama, adventure, and legend.

Interesting twist. I wonder what accounts Sarah had to recount to the others. I'll just have to finish the book to find out. Great review!

Great review and summarization of the novel. This sounds full of adventure. I occasionally listen to audiobooks but I agree with you that reading them is better. Thank you for sharing.

I also reviewed the audio book for this novel. I wasn’t a fan of the narration, but I really enjoyed the story.

Thanks for the review. I was always leery about audiobooks because I was afraid they would put me to sleep. I think the premise of the book is a good idea, but I'm not sure how much I would actually stay involved with the story. I am glad that you enjoyed it though.

I'm looking forward to reading this one. I see the ending was not 100% satisfactory. I'm hoping I like this book so much I won't mind the ending. *fingers crossed*

It's a great book, for me in the end many questions, but maybe that the loop that keeps writers and readers connected even after finishing it

This books sounds like it has great descriptions of scenery to support a great story!

I put this book on my "to read" bookshelf a few days ago, so I am happy to see it's the book of the day. Great book and great review as well.

This sounds very entertaining, to be honest. I am looking forward to reviewing this book. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Native American legends shouldn't be appropriated for storytelling bu non-natives. I'll give this one a miss.

I've never listened to an audio book, I much prefer watching a movie or sitting quietly and reading.

Not sure what the storyline is here so I don't think I'll bother. Thanks for the review.

I greatly enjoy reading books based on Native Americans fictional or non-fictional, since that is part of my heritage.

From your great review I cannot wait to read through this book although I may not look forward to the ending if leaves too much unanswered!
