This review left me with my jaw wide open and in a kind of awe or trance simply from just reading the description of I Am Not Gog by Matthew James Hunt. I definitely added it to my Want To Read list. I love books that are based on true events so I look forward to reading this book even if it's not a true story. If you feel like your reading a real life story than it's just as good. Thanks for such a heartfelt review.

What a beautiful review

This is proof that this book truly is a page-turner, just as it was described on the other review I’ve read on Amazon

Another good thing is, for the most part, it was said to be enjoyable and relatable to others too. For all we know, a 2nd sequel to the first book might just be on its way

thanks to the author for the free book

and congratulations on the #Botd

Bullying is a world-wide plague facing the world. There is an on-going war against bullying. This book enforces the need for everyone to do his best in standing up for what is right. I recommend this book to young adults and older adults.

This one sounds like a gem. I wasn’t so sure from the beginning pages, but when the character began speaking to the little girl on the bus, I felt a pull toward her like no other. Your review has convinced me that this is a must read for me. It’s just too good to let go by. Thank you for further insight on this one. It sounds like the author got you wrapped up in the story, and I’m ready for a good fiction that reads like non-fiction.

Lydia sounds like a character I would love to get to know. Also, the way you described the plot makes me curious about the book. I Am Not Gog will go on my 'to read' list. Thank you for the good review!

Wow, I am impressed to see that this book is one that almost blurs the line between reality and fiction, with the main character being written so well that it's almost impossible to tell if she is real or imagined. This makes for the best books!

Wow! What a nice story line: The story of a child, Lydia Japhethson, who had been bullied and abused until she reached her breaking point and became an unhinged middle-aged woman. Confronting her past is the only way to put it behind her. Detailed review. I guess, I am reading this book.

Awesome review! Thank you! Today's BOTD sounds like a real page-turner, and even while reading your review, I forgot you said this this was fiction. Whew! The realistic events, characters, and universal themes have me excited to start this one right away! Thanks, again!

It sounds like this was a very believable book. I really enjoy books that seem realistic, and this one seems like one of those books, especially since you found yourself wanting to Google the main character at the end! I just downloaded this book, so I will have to give it a try! Thank you for your excellent review!

I'll definitely read this book after reading your review. I can feel the sincerity behind it. I like the idea of a woman getting into action with a gun in hand, that sounds attractive to me

I read the first few pages of the book which gave clue to the subject of mental illness interwoven within the chapters. The foretelling in the story, spoken by the main character, allows the reader to know something is going to change that will permanently affect her life. Sounds very intriguing.

This book sounds like an excellent read. I love character-driven stories. I'm glad to hear that the story is also unpredictable, and that the characters are believable. I can't wait to read this one! Thanks for the well-written, and thorough, review!

The review of I am not Gog got me in the mood to read this book. The book is a reminder to captive audiences that stand back and watch atrocities without interfering.I want to read how it happens to Lydia.

The novel seemed very interesting because the review did not offer much information about the story, just a bit of this and that, which made me more curious to read it. I can't wait to know the the gun's role in the main character's life!

Very nice plot but quiet heartbroken for me to read. I love the fact that she decided to take revenge but I think I would be overwhelmed by the bullied. Nevertheless, well done for being BOTD.
