The story is very interesting. It's about family, goals, and freedom. I love the story and hope this will end with happiness. Hope they dare to start a new life. Nice review but it's long. Congrats on BOTD!

This book seems to bring a journey of self-discovery through some romance, a bit of thriller, and a little adventure too. It starts with the friendship between Calvery and Finn Tully in a Texas prison. Congrats on BOTD to the author! Thanks for the review!

:o Sometimes life is unfare, we get caught in prison not because you are guilty but because you are not able to get a lawyer to stand up for you. For situation you find yourself been arrested for something you didn't do, like Calvery we don't know if he was guilty or not but his friend Tully made to keep his promise to told his daughter his father was innocent. Tully was still having problems as he found his wife was living with another and she also another child and his mother was also had cancer

The fact that this book is so well-regarded by so many people alone makes me want to read it. From what I've heard, it sounds like one of those books that, while I might enjoy the plot overall, I might have conflicting thoughts about the characters. I appreciate the evaluation. I'll undoubtedly give Thin Places a shot.

I enjoyed the summary of the book. But it seems that the interweaving of events and characters is not easy to follow through. Nevertheless, congratulations to the author on BOTD!

Thank you for the review. It is thoroughly informative. The book though, I couldn't relate much to. Your review inspired me to read it yet the plot was predictable and the characters seemed blame to me. I would like to give the book a second chance by at least recommending it to others for its essence and context and for your wonderful review.

Diane Owens Prettyman's 'Thin Places' weaves a complex narrative of self-discovery & mystery, deeply rooted in Irish folklore. Intriguing characters and a gripping plot take center stage, as personal growth & the quest for redemption unfold. A tantalizing read for those who love multi-layered stories. Congratulations on being BOTD!

Reading the sample gave me a good idea of what to expect from Thin Places. I did enjoy the straight-forward approach in writing that the Author had progressed with. As expressed in the review, the story had a curious progression into the meeting of the most important characters. However, I was not fully captivated about upon first glance - but the book in all would be a wonderful read. Just not my personal taste, thank you so much for your Review.
