Review by larchieorna -- Strong Heart by Charlie Sheldon
[Following is a volunteer review of "Strong Heart" by Charlie Sheldon.]
The book Strong Heart by Charlie Sheldon is a book for people who love adventure and would spend a rainy afternoon reading. It's an interesting story of a typical family that like any family undergoes through tough challenges that they try to handle with their best known efforts although sometimes not very successful,they still manage to get through it. It's a story of a young girl whose mother died when she was younger then left with a stepfather who abandoned her to a heartless grandmother who in turn dumps her at her grandfather who did not know he had a granddaughter.
For me I really felt for her since she is a young girl who requires all the love in the world especially from key people in her life like her very own flesh and blood grandmother. You can tell how difficult she must find life with all that happened in the seas and jungle. Therefore she deserves the name Strong Heart because she is still strong despite it all. With her strong heart she is able to take 'Eye, Myra, Tom and Sergei on an adventure unknown to their community existed. The community thought that short face bears were extinct but Sarah took them to the place they could see it.
I rate the book 4 out of 4 marks simply because it is an interesting book that seems to be professionally edited. The author seems to be very figurative and detailed by how he describes the events. For example how Sarah drew the bear, Sergei, Tom or Myra, you would wish to see the drawing itself. I think its a unique thing for the writer to describe something like how the drawings looks like that you can actually visualize it or even try and redraw it. How Ruth delivered Sarah to Tom's house, or even how Sergei and Myra kept having heated arguments or as the author puts it, sparks kept flying, that you would actually feel good to not be physically present because of the awkwardness you would feel being between them.
I love how open they are with each other by saying what is the truth in their heart at the moment like how Myra yelled at her dad then her dad apologized and they moved on. Where I come from yelling at your dad is a taboo. What I liked most about the book is that it is an interesting read full of adventure and you really cannot predict the outcome. The book is very descriptive and captivating of how the writer gives a detailed description of the journey in the story.
What I disliked most about the book is the ending part was too short. I could not help but wish that the author could have ended the book by telling us what later happened to Fletcher Lynch and Buckhorn, if they succeeded in their plans or ended with what they deserved and if Sarah was able to fully settle with her grandfather Tom. Nevertheless it's an excellent book.
