I thought this was a great book. Not my normal genre but I really enjoyed reading it.

This book is one that I would not have ordered or bought but one I got through a book club due to not declining the book selection in time and therefore purchasing it and a couple of others. I missed this deadline due to my fathers passing on the 2nd of Feb. 2012. In the confusion of those events I missed the deadline. However in this case it was a good thing. This book is an emotional one but one I feel has been written very well. Although it deals with events that some of us have never had to deal with it does deal with feelings and emotions that I believe we all experience in our lives. It shines a light on how during everyday life we can so instantly crush those we love by saying things and acting in ways that are hurtful simply because we are being selfish and self center, not thinking clearly or with concern for others. It was a great reminder to me on how fragile people are and at the same time how strong we can be when times are rough. I got this book on Wednesday and finished it today, Saturday. I shed many tears as I read these pages and loved it. I would recommend this book as a great read, just be prepared for the emotions of it. I will have to check out this authors other books.

I just finished reading this book and am very glad I did. It is a story about a great adventure one family took in the hopes of helping their autistic son. It has allowed me to see in a small way into the lives of family that has a child with autism and some of the struggles that they have to go through. At the same time it is a great adventure story about a trip to Mongolia, much of it on horseback. The scenery and the glimpses of the culture are nicely conveyed. This book does read like a novel or story book but it is in fact true, more of a documentary that reads like a novel. The biggest thing I have gotten from this book is a very thankful heart to God for allowing me to have "normal" children and sparing me from the type of trials that this family has had to endure. I have a greater appreciation of trials of others. This is a great book and all should read it.

I just got this book in the mail Friday and started to read it that evening. I just finished it, Sunday evening, and enjoyed it very much. It gives you a good feel for what the training and operations are like without giving away specifics. It also was nice to not have all the hype and ugly details that some of the authors seem to use to much of. If you want to know what happened on this mission then this is the book to read. Great job, both on the missions and in writing this book. Thank you!

Although this book has a very interesting concept and plot and I do plan to read the series, I found it be much more adult in style then it maybe needs to be. Because of that I have told my househould that it is adult reading not for children or even young adults in my opinion. I am very much looking forward to how some of the civil, racial and governing issues progress and are handled. It does tend to make one think about things... well atleast it does me.
