This book was crazy. I couldn't even imagine being in the situation that Mr. King was in. It would be an absolute nightmare. I think I must be a lesser person because I have a hard time seeing myself doing what he tried to do for his wife. Each character really brought an interesting element to ...

As I look back at my choice of buying this book, I think that I made an odd and pretty out of character decision when I purchased this book. This is a book about a father trying to understand his teenage and his ten-year-old daughters. Definitely not my usual thing, if I have a thing when it comes...
