Wide range of emotion

Worth The Ride was fun romance. It's the story of Weston and Timber. It breaks your heart, then pieces is back together. At the same time, it's not super angsty and has comedic relief to keep it from getting there.

Timber is a headstrong character. I had difficultly enjoying her at first, but it quickly passed. Recently having returned to town, she's tough, a hard worker, and is fun and sassy. I loved watching her bond with Weston's daughter. Bryndle was my favorite, a vivacious little girl, who is more like her daddy than he wants to admit.

Worth the Ride is well written, with well rounded, flawed characters that are realistic. It's paced well; the characters are realistic and flawed. The story is uplifting and a great read that sticks with you. Recommended to the cowboy loving reader.

Such powerful emotions throughout this book from all aspects. As an adoptive parent to an 11year old daughter, I found this helpful to understand what she may be feeling now and in the future. I look forward to sharing this book with her.

Like feminist bukowski, this collection reads fast and directly. There's a lot of true emotion here, much of it unfiltered, some ugly. Though some feels like the words of lost yogis, it does not overstay it's welcome.

Takahashi has assembled a collection of feelings into a mass of images. Translated them into the spoken word that has been printed and bound for others to experience.

This collection of 21 stories is filled with tales that run the gauntlet of human emotion. The stories are filled with surprises as the protagonist often hopes or believes a certain thing will happen, only to be floored by an unexpected revelation or turn of events.  From a vengeful "road rage" situation in Gas Line, to Cyla, a touching story of sacrifice, this collection of stories is a study of human nature in all it's unpredictable glory.

The author did a good job (again) being realistic about people's reactions to difficult situations. It's nice to show that people aren't just hateful or nice, and that they have the possibility of making mistakes and feeling conflicting emotions about them.

A beautifully written book that will make you feel just about every emotion you can imagine, and then some.  The main characters are larger than life and yet their emotions, longings, and missteps are entirely relatable.  You feel as though you might run into one of them on the sidewalk or overhear a couple of them quarreling at a restaurant.  Some of the most affecting scenes from the book have stayed with me for a very long time.  And the author's exploration of the relationships and everyday interactions between friends, lovers, and family members raises broader (and fascinating) issues regarding family ties, love, displacement, immigration, sexuality, and the human desire to be accepted, without being heavy handed - not an easy feat.  Very highly recommended.

A full range of emotions, drags a little in spots, flashbacks could have been a little shorter.
Well worth the effort !  I am looking forward to reading the sequel !

Just enough intimacies to keep it interesting without spoiling the story being told.

This book speaks to the depths of grief that children can feel, and how such complex emotions cannot be expressed easily in words. It's a testament to the emotional depth of young men, something that isn't often explored at length in middle grade novels. More than the action that occurs in this novel, it's the way Clayton feels and expresses his grief that carries the story from start to finish.

I thoroughly enjoyed this CD because it just captured some of the emotions that I am going through at the moment.  Although I am twice the age of the artist, the expressive emotional vibe that is given with each of the songs brings it all into perspective.

To say anything other than this story made me "feel many different emotions...well ...I can't begin to describe the thoughts, and emotions...so I will merely say, it is well worth a read.

So many emotions going through my head while reading this story.  Sadness, love, anger. The love between Tristen and Deidra is so strong.  The compassion in Deidre for the children of her old village is heartwarming.  I would love to see this story progress in the future.

This masterpiece stirs an amazing array of emotions, strong enough to induce tears. The most evolved BT album yet. Buy it.

This book made me feel TOO much. It caught me from the very beginning but I wasn't sure I could finish because of how emotional it was. So much sorrow, so much violence and very little compassion. But a strong story of true friendship. My heart was thumping on more than one occasion. Not my preferred genre but I'll be reading the sequel.

This book has been on my radar for a while now, but I finally picked it up when the price became more affordable. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I gathered from the the reviews I read that it was an emotion filled read, with a sensitive subject matter.  First, It is obvious that the author has a beautiful way with words and it draws you in immediately. Second, I was constantly finding myself trying to determine what the mystery was surrounding all of the hints and subtle references to Nastya's past and what happened to her. Josh also has emotional pain from all the lost that he had suffered, so it was no wonder that they slowly and methodically found their way to each other. The reveal and answered questions are provided, but it is also slow and methodical; it doesn't build to a crescendo like you would expect. By the time all the pieces come together, I was drained emotionally and past ready for some joy to finally come to these characters. I would have love to see how things progressed for them a few years down the road, but I felt like they were going to find their joy.

Touching and deeply moving glimpse of the painful feelings inflicted upon the heart.  Yet it ends on an upbeat sentiment.  Everyone -  19 to 90 - can relate to having these feelings at some time in their life.
