Second Chance is a beautiful, uplifting story

I have read this book several times and love the peaceful feeling I experienced. Such a touching reminder that a second chance is possible for all of us.

Only four stars because the writing style is basic, as is the story line. The message the author wants to say is effectively conveyed though and it’s not long.

So if you want a taste of Sydney Banks and what he has to offer then go for it but don’t expect Hemingway.

fucking trash, the literary equivalent to a love laugh live sign or some inspirational sclop on facebook. DO NOT give such shit room in your brain, it neither deserves nor warrants your attention.

It was ok and loved the story and the scenery but for me it was not that deep and moving. Probably because I read quite a lot of similar books. Good for someome who reads in this genre for the first time.
