The funny thing is that I usually complain about the way novels in series feel like unfinished books with too many loose ends. (shrug)<br /><br />Anyway, I just posted more of my thoughts on this book on my blog at <a href="http://www.tracysbooknook.com/unlocked-by-karen-kingsbury-book-review/" rel="nofollow"> www.tracysbooknook.com. </a><br /><br />-Tracytracysbooknook.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05232048554372675289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-76248383991561841572010-11-07T17:44:15.663-05:002010-11-07T17:44:15.663-05:00This is actually the first time she's written ...This is actually the first time she's written about an actual true event, or something that is so strong in today's world. This doesn't have as much Christianity in it as her other books do, so as a person who doesn't usually read Christian Fiction, or may not be a Christian, etc. I think you'd be okay reading this book in particular. It was definitely a good book. I've never really dealt with anyone with autism directly, but every time someone mentions autism to me, it reminds me of this one time I was at the County fair and this little girl was instantly drawn to me. She walked up to me, smiled, and took a hold of my hand. Her Mother came up to me and said, "I'm sorry. She's Autistic. We haven't seen her smile like that in a long time." I'll never forget it.Stephanyhttp://stephanysbookreviews.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-24280474780930415722010-11-07T08:26:16.899-05:002010-11-07T08:26:16.899-05:00I can't say I've read too much Christian f...I can't say I've read too much Christian fiction or anything like that BUT this sounds interesting to me because of the autism factor. I used to work with autistic kids so books tend to pique my interest if they have an autistic main character.<br /><br />Good review! That's pretty cool that this ties in with her other series like that.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08905075906530067471noreply@blogger.com
