I love autobiographies and the fact that his story is relatable and enlightening makes it a must-read. The use of humor was really thoughtful in a book with content involving abuse. Thanks for the review.

Seems to be interesting, but I'll have to read the first part before starting on this one. Thanks for you lovely review!

This would be an inspiring book. Based on the review, I feel the author would bounce back after the abuses he experienced. Great review.

'Official Review: When Life Doesn't Turn Out The Way We Hoped It Would? Volume 2' by Tom Wick is a store of important information related to the book for readers! The reading content has been explained in simpler and easy words for the benefit of all readers! The point that the author had a great way to lighten the mood in any situation is worth mentioning in the review! Also, the point that the author spared no detail in helping readers to get vivid images of his travel experiences is quite informative for readers! Nice to learn that the author's story was overall easy to relate to and his experiences were enlightening and exciting to follow!

What a great and thorough review. I am sympathetic to the author because of his abusive childhood, but I am interested in how he is striving to have a better life.

It is good to see Tom's life begin to take a new turn after the series of abuses he suffered. This book shed more light on the kind of demons people fight that make them find solace in drugs or other questionable acts.

Although this book seems interesting, the cover presents it in an opposite light. It's not catchy or eye grabbing.

When I read memoirs, I get to know about cultures from different ethnic groups, religious groups etc.
I'd love to read this riveting piece! Nice review.

Seems like a book that would take you on a journey to several places without you being there. Nice one

Books with a sense of humor are good for accelerating the tale to a culminating end. This memoir sounds like a good start for the week.

This is quite an emotional read for me. The way the author handled his PTSD is heart-wrenching. I'm curious about how it ended up. Nice review.

There's no doubt that Tom Wick experienced some terrible events growing up, and he had to deal with the trauma as an adult. I like that we get to learn more about his life in the Navy with this installment. It's great that he uses humor to make the content easier to read through. The information and pictures about the places they visited while completing their service will add an interesting touch to the story. I appreciate the detailed and well-written review!

The read sounds enticing enough. I am glad that there is more to the author's life than an abusive childhood. I look forward to reading it and finding out how he dealt with it. Congrats on being the BOTD
