It was good to read this book as it was not just a picture book but lots of good original information from one who was a star in the sport of racing and was well respected by all. Lots of pictures that I had not seen before.

It's not The Mortal Instruments, but it's a very good read.

It was very interesting to read something so different from the author.

This book is not a "how-to" book, but gives various accounts of the spiritual rewards of being involved in this work.

Out-of-School Tales(OOST) is an interesting read but not a book for everyone.  When I approached this book I was reading it more for the entertainment value of reading; however, this book is more of a book for to-be educators, those who have just became educators or the seasoned educators and not for a general audience consumption.  I am not sure if this was the author's intention but it came across that way.

As an education book this book importance is more of the morale of the story which is, education is not what you think it is as there are many verticals of input hitting the educator from all directions (management, kids, parents and government).  Page does a good job expressing this in the book.  The one thing I truly enjoyed about the book was Page being honest with the reader.  She freely admits that not only was her entrance in education accidental but one that took some time to "get" which is a lesson all of us educators need to remember.

There were some parts of the book that I did not care for, not because I did not buy into it, rather than the book's brevity took away from its message.  Page stresses three areas which appears to have shaped her philosophy and sometimes the reasons why things happened to her the way they did.  I think if Page opened with her philosophies in detail and told the audience a deeper reason of why these were so key that the book might have sold better to me as a reader.  Also there seemed to be quite a bit missing in many of the tales where the reader needed to read between the lines to get her point.

Overall a fine book to read, especially in the education field, for the average Joe reader it will come down to a matter of taste.

This is a book that is a good while reading it but it is more than you think.  It has what you want in a book: good characters, interesting story line, some insight.  But honestly, I read the book over ten years ago and I still think about it.  It offers some insight that is humorous and hits the mark. It is good but it is more than what you think of it too.

I enjoyed this book.  It's a good read with a different perspective.  I had just finished reading one of Cesar Milan's books (he talks about NOT anthropomorphizing dogs), so this was on my mind while I read the book, but it was a good read.

I am not a religious person.  This is an interesting philosophy and translation and I got quite a bit out of it.  It is not hippie stuff. Lol.  Nor is it fire and brimstone.  A good read and a useful outlook.

I enjoyed reading this book and, unlikely as it may have been, the perspective of the narrator as a former slave was interesting, touching, and well thought out.

I enjoyed reading this book as it held my attention throughout the story. The plot wasn't something I figured out easily either, which can be a problem for an avid reader. The characters were interesting and complex but not contrived. Good book.

I was really happy to read this book after finishing 'Me before you', which is the prequel to this (which is awesome!!!). This isn't as good as that book (I guess that's inevitable though), but it's still good and it was nice to continue with the main character's life and to see what happened next for her. This book also ends in a way that there could be a third book, and I'd be happy to read that if the author writes one. While it's not serious literature, these books do evoke some thought-provoking themes and make you question how you'd react in a certain situation and where you stand on things - from euthanasia to taking up a life-altering professional position overseas. I enjoyed both books and hope there's a third.

I believe this was a good book to read .  It reminds us to be reading the Bible and know the truth.  It points out the New Age and how dangerous that can be.  We need to be aware of these things.  I believe it would be helpful for others to read to remind them that the Bible is the truth and we need to not stray away from that.  I do find many interesting things happening in our country.  I do pay alot more attention to the events and how it relates to end times and believe we are coming into our end times due to many things relating to homosexuality, earthquakes, sexuality, storms.  We should all be reminded of how we so need to be in the Word and in the truth and praying for those who may not know their Savior.  I found this book worth mentioning to others to keep them on the right track.  Even if it is a sermon it is a sermon to be heard again.

It was good writing, but not the type of novel I would normally read.

Most of the research mentioned in this book is not new. But reading about it in a neatly organized way has a powerful effect that left me thinking. The author's personal journey makes it more interesting and approachable than a purely academic text.

This book doesn't promise to fix you, and it won't. It might offer some ideas, but the solutions are not simple, nor easy. The whole point of it is that self help is not enough. It's time we start helping each other.

I enjoyed reading this book, even though I knew the outcome was not pleasant. It is thought-provoking and worthy of much discussion with fellow readers.

It offers a perspective that is not often expressed. The points of view reflected in this book are varied and appreciated.

I voluntarily read this book as an ARC and enjoyed it. It was different than some I had read before but it was good.
