There were a few times I had to stop and ask myself what certain parts had to do with anything but everything eventually fell into place. I have to admit that I was not in love with the main character during the middle of the book, which is kind of a let down for me but my feelings changed as the book continued. The ending was amazing and I'm looking forward to reading more of his work. ( ) This book was not what I expected at all. There were a few times I had to stop and ask myself what certain parts had to do with anything but everything eventually fell into place. I have to admit that I was not in love with the main character during the middle of the book, which is kind of a let down for me but my feelings changed as the book continued. The ending was amazing and I'm looking forward to reading more of his work. Upon getting into the meat of the story, I spent my time until the end of the book trying to guess the next event and, of course, the ending. I only do that with books that hold my interest. This is a good book that moves well and is full of thought provoking events and side stories. A very enjoyable read. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Tom Ryan is the oldest of five Irish Catholic children. Through his eyes, the story of his younger brother, Harry, unfolds: "Growing up, Harry was always the shining star of the family. He was the one you'd name if you were trying to think of kids who were holy, and the one I'd list as a brown-nosing little punk who deserved to get beat up on the playground for making it hard on the rest of us. He was the one God, and Grandma Ryan, had called to the priesthood."But Harry took a different path and chose not to enter the seminary, and eventually, not to be a Catholic. When he left for college he left for good."Not that I cared, but for four years, Harry never came home. No one spoke of him at the dinner table or wondered aloud how he was doing or why he had changed. His picture disappeared from the mantle. It was as if he had ceased to exist, had never existed, that the shining star had been but a passing comet lost in time and memory. It hurt Mom and Dad a lot." It's Christmas 1972, Harry's senior year, and the Ryan family has gathered for the holiday, all except Harry... _______________________________________ Read the sequel!"A Cape May Diamond," the sequel to "Four Years from Home" is out on Kindle and in paperback from Amazon. It is a story of life, love, and a journey of a thousand years, and is a must-read for those who want to know what really happened to Tom Ryan. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
