Official Review: When Life Doesn't Turn Out The Way We Ho...

[Asma Aisha Ansari]

It was extremely heart-wrenching to read that the author couldn't get along well with his mates aboard because of PTSD.
However, his time traveling the globe sounds very intriguing and l think that might have helped him look at things in a positive light.
This book should be diligently edited so that readers can enjoy and benefit from it better.
Thanks for this amazing review

Than you for sharing this review. I definitely should check it out. I love books about one's experience, especially wars.

I am not interested in reading this book because it is an autobiography. I do think the review carefully outlines everything that is important. It's a shame that the book needs another round of editing. Thank you for the review.

This non-fiction book brings more aspects about the story and experiences of Tom Wick. It seems to bring his life in the United States Navy and how he dealed with his past traumas too. I don't think this is for me, but congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

Never judge a book by its cover is what I got from this book. The author looks so different from what he describes himself as, an emotional misfit. I am intrigued to know what his story is. Great review.

[Iva Stoyanova]

Same as for the first book, I wouldn't read this one either. It sounds like a sad and depressing book for me so I'll pass on it.

[Jorge Leon Salazar]

The author's experiences in the United States Navy traveling to different parts of the world look interesting. Furthermore, this autobiography seems to contain many things to learn as a result of the difficulties he suffered during his personal life and also in the Navy.

I think this sounds like a very particular kind of memoir. People who are trying to find their paths might enjoy it. Your review was very honest and detailed, thanks.

I like the author focused on wanting to give readers as vivid images of the stories he wants to tell, as this will help readers better relate to him. Hopefully, the author will send the book for editing to rectify those final errors. Thanks for the review.

Always respect a person as whatever that you see is a lesson or a blessing. Some growth and endurance is the way through life. I commend the author for sharing his experiences. Congratulations.

In this life, when life throws lemon at us, we need to know how to make lemonade out of it. The coping mechanism Tom used is what drew my attention. Great job done by the reviewer.

Tom's life in the Navy is heavily influenced by his childhood traumatic experiences. I think I'll sit this one out, but I'll try to follow this writer's story through in the little way I can. Cheers!!!

This sounds like an interesting second instalment. The different destinations he went to in the navy sounds fascinating and also how he dealt with his previous abuse. Thanks for a great review.

The #BOTD promises to be more of the interesting storytelling that Wick has a unique easy-going manner in expressing. I liked the first book and I hope that this one will be similar in quality. Great honest review.

The cultural and historical information about places like Hawaii, the Philippines, or Sinagapore sounds interesting enough, but I'm worried I'll get bored by all the technical details on life aboard a U.S. Navy ship. Thanks for your review!
