Love emanating from the pursuit of satisfying one's curiosity sounds like a good way to start a story. Good job.

The book cover says me to read it. Yes its really interesting for me when i read the quotes under the title. Many lessons learned especially about God and the blessings he has given us. This book is a reminder to us that all of us must appreciate everything. Just Love & Forgive.

I read the initial few pages. writing style seems okay and I did not notice any printing or grammar errors. But, thanks to your descriptive review only, I got the full picture of the book. Seems like not a type of book which I prefer to read. Anyway thanks for the good and honest review

I love reading about interesting characters, their stories, and their relationships with each other. This book sounds like a really good read. Seems like it's a worthwhile read and the only flaw might be the grammar. I'll give it a try.

A must book for those readers who enjoy watching people evolve as they get on with life.Rated 3-4stars and noting some grammatical errors and a proved nice review work.The book "Charles' story"is of a young reporter who wanted to know about a billionair philentrophist Charles Henderson Mc Cormick, a retired businessman who gives out freely,but Charles will not like to open up even his inner secrets,this is a tale of love,hate,success,generousity,ralationship,cover etc.this is story that teach us a lot as life evolves

I like the sound of that. So far - I've just read the first couple of chapters - Karen seems a bit bland an uninteresting, but there are elements that pique my curiosity.

Can you imagine if everyone in the world is as philanthropic as Mr. McCormick? What a wonderful world this would be. This is truly a good read. Thank you for your lovely review.

Sounds like a lovely book, I love watching relationships build and grow naturally and in realistic ways. It also seems like a pretty positive book (like, it doesn't center on violence or evil) which is a nice change of pace from what we usually see in stories.

I'm not sure this book is for me, I prefer more dynamic books. But I've read the review and the book seems to be pretty interesting for those who like various life stories and about different kinds of love the person experiences during his lifetime. I'm sure the book will find it's reader.

Post by kjs237 »

From the reviewer's description I immediately thought of the reclusive Howard Hughes. I wonder if there are similarities in Charles and Mr. Hughes. I would find it interesting to learn how the characters develop so I may read this book. The grammar errors might make it too distracting for me to finish but it sounds like it's worth a try. Very helpful review overall.

Thank you for the honest review. The book does not seem to fit my style, because I enjoy more mystery or action type of books, instead of life type of books. It sounds like it is a bit slow, but the previews or beginnings are almost always slow.

Thanks for your review! I like that the story examines the different forms of love. However, the predictability and errors are off-putting.
