My best friend Emmy and I went to the library and there on the shelf of recomends was this book. I wasn't all that interested in it but she decided to give it a try. As soon as she started reading it she wouldn't shut up about the book. lol.
The stories she was telling me from The Gargoyel were picking my interest and just like the nameless man tell you his story, I too wanted to hear more.
And so I reserved the book. It took me three days (because I work) to read it but each time I picked it up I couldn't and didn't want to put it down. I finished it on 12/31/11 at 11:14pm and held the book to my chest with nothing more to say except oh my god along with a few tears in my eyes.
There were times when reading this that I would fight back the tears when on my lunch break and times I wanted to scream at the charecters of the book. Mainly his family, but all in all Andrew Davidson did a remarkable job at making you feel as though you knew these people and an even more remarkable job of the science of the burn victem and what he was going through, as well the the technical names for procedures.
The 7 years research paid off as well as the historical research. This man wanted to deliver a well written, well researched and a emotional charecter drivin book to his audiance. He did just that and I will forever be greatful to my friend and to this man Andrew Davidson for that.
I am looking forward to the next book that he has up his sleeve.
