The plot for this book sounds great. It's always great to read about the adventures people have gone through in life. However, it seems that the editing errors have prevented this book from being the best it can be.
Thanks for the review!

The flaws notwithstanding, this sounds like an interesting book, especially for kids, or people who like listening to tales of a different time. I do enjoy my own grandfather's stories, so this might be a good fit. It also sounds like a book that gives the reader new appreciation for life and inspiration to live it to its fullest.
Thanks so much for your awesome review. The way you've brought out your issues with the book is quite insightful.

Thanks for your review but I don't think this one is for me. Can't bring myself to spend precious reading time on a two star book.
We’re gonna need a bigger bookshelf.

I really enjoyed myself reading this book, because it made me remember stories my Grandpa used to tell us. The author did a good job in bringing this nice piece together.

Thank you for your kind comments! I hope that you find this a good fit, although I feel that the best reading experience can only be gained if it were first reworked/edited.
