This book was written from the heart and as the reader you feel the emotions and the love. This book touched my heart, deeply. It showed me that there are families that care about each other deeply, especially in times of crisis. It reaffirmed the knowledge that family can actually overcome great obstacles through their love. A great book to share with those you love.

The well crafted characters in this wonderful story stay with you. The book describes everyday life, friendships, history, and struggles. It's a read from a writer who delights and provokes thought about a place that most of us Americans know nothing about. It's a book that would have much to discuss for book groups. I will pass this book on as a GREAT read.

Will North's writing brings to life his characters and the village of Boscastle, England. He makes the reader feel like they are a part of the village. Mr. North's skill at story development is wonderful and I enjoyed it immensely. Some of the plot was unnecessary and could have used some tightened editing. The story and the main characters stay with you long after you've put it down. It's a great read ... would be a great beach read for the coming summer months.

I wasn't sure I would enjoy this book until I picked it up and then I couldn't put it down. The characters came alive and I was suddenly drawn in and didn't want to put the book down until the end. The math discussions were intriguing and were interesting though I know nothing about math. But the honesty of the relationship is what drew me in. It was a lovely read and I would highly recommend it.

This book was extremely interesting. Most people think that they truly control all their decision making abilities, but in essence many times those decisions are so quick that it's truly an internal process. It's almost inexplainable yet there's a real scientific reason for it.

I thought that it was either your emotional side taking control or your rational side controlling your decisions but there's so much more to the entire process.

The book describes how athletes make split second without even realizing it to win a game. The decision is almost intuitive. I thought this discussion to be extremely fascinating. Being in a competitive job environment, I now see how the decisions I make impact the sales that attain and the ones I lose.

Mr. Lehrer's storytelling though not fictional flows so well and is so interesting that you truly want to know how people in all walks of life and ages make decisions and how you can learn to make better one.

In these uncertain times, this book is certainly one that people who'd like to gain insight into their own processes would benefit from reading.
