I THINK I 'BORROWED' THIS BOOK FOR FREE FROM THE AMAZON PRIME MEMBERS KINDLE LIBRARY - I DIDN'T HAVE HIGH EXPECTATIONS, I DON'T KNOW WHY, MAYBE BECAUSE I'M SO USED TO READING 'NAME' AUTHORS, I JUST WASN'T EXPECTING VERY MUCH.  BUT I WAS SO PLEASANTLY SURPRISED.  I BECAME INVOLVED WITH THE YOUNG MAN CHARACTER VERY QUICKLY SYMPATHIZING WITH THIS YOUNG MAN WHO'D LOST HIS DAD AT SUCH AN IMPORTANT STAGE OF HIS LIFE.  THEN WHEN HE HAD HIS 'MOMENT' IN THE SUBWAY, OR TRAIN, STATION, I WAS REALLY HOOKED AND COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE IF HE'D IMAGINED IT OR IF HE REALLY SAW WHAT HE THOUGHT HE SAW.  I UNDERSTAND THIS BOOK IS PART OF A SERIES, HOPEFULLY IT WASN'T THE LAST ONE IN THE SERIES, AS I'D LIKE TO READ OTHERS TO SEE WHAT BUILT UP TO THE ENDING OF 'LAST STOP'.

I "had" to read this book for my senior citizens' book club.  I was so pleasantly surprised!  I have never read a book by Wallace Stegner; however, I will definitely read his books when I get a chance.  His easy, laid back style of writing made me feel part of the book.  The subject matter, friends, made it more enticing as friendship is so important to me.  It was one of the better books I have read and so glad that I "had" to read it!

I had bought this time time ago and when I went back to read it, I wondered why on earth I had picked it.  It really surprised me by being a really good read.  I'll look forward to more from this author.  Well done.

I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did.  I usually lose interest in the "all is well in the end" kind of books.  Their answers seem to easy and well, life is rarely easy.  This one surprised me.  I like the characters enough to get lost in their story and it was a lovely surprise.  I hope the author has a sequel or one in the works.  I'd like to know what happens next.

1st time ever buying a celebrity autobiography before.  First page or 2, I wasn't sure how I'd like it but immediately it got so interesting, charming and fun to read!  His intellect and lack of ego make for such fun story telling and name dropping without it ever feeling like that.  His life has been so interesting in all the things that just happened randomly (in part from his persistence and in part out of pure luck).  The way he tells his life story is both good writing and logical.  Gives you neat insight into the world he grew up in in Malibu and gives awareness to the effects our childhoods have on us.  I love his really young stories of his determination (and showed his strength and intellect even as a kid).  I read it in 2 nights at bedtime - couldn't stop - it was thoroughly enjoyable!

Since getting my Kindle and having the opportunity to download free books, I've been exposed to many genres and authors I would have have never thought of reading in the past.  This was a surprisingly fun, quick read.  Yes, its "technically" for young adult readers but I'm a middle young adult and I liked it, a lot.  It was interesting, kept my interest and though I did figure out the plot, the author's writing, terminology and description of this futuristic past was enjoyable.  Good read.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the free "Advance Reader Copy" and I am happy I did.  This book truly surprised me.  The words and wisdom in here have touched every aspect of my life and has inspired me toward continual improvement.  And it really is a good read - which is surprising for a book in this genre.  I cannot wait for more.

If you can thing analyzing people should be difficult, then I would like to say you are in wrong thought because now a days its really easy to read someones mind so quickly. I had a huge interest to know more about analyzing people and exactly for that reason I grabbed this book a few weeks ago.

Inside here the author David Clark has described about how to read people instantly using psychological techniques. I really liked the style of writing of this author because I have found all the guides, tips, & lessons so clear to understand. Throughout this read I have learned about how to perform cold reading as well. Overall, it was an amazing & helpful read so far.

I took the advice from the review already present and gave this book a try; I loved it! This author definitely was original and creative with his approach on drawing the reader in; from the prologue,I was hooked! I am an avid reader who enjoys being surprised and this book is filled with characters that kept me interested and thankfully no vampires or werewolves involved; no offense, but it's a nice break from the trend. I would highly recommend this book to those wanting not just a story but a down to earth message on the struggles & joys life does bring but written in a unique & philosophical style. Keep in mind that you have some awesome, passionate scenes awaiting you but done with respect and class; which is rare now in days. Take the chance like I did as a customer to check this one out, I'm so glad I did; surprises are few so enjoy this one!

My Kindle app recommended this book and it was a pleasant surprise. I had no idea it was a 'young adult' book until about mid way in. My point is, that shouldn't matter. I am in my 30s and find it a very refreshing read. It's a mix between a Winkle in Time (which I loved so much as a kid) and maybe Divergent. I love that the main characters are women, smart and calling the shots. It also makes you think about time travel and all the little details you don't really realize could happen if it were really possible.

I had never heard of the Temple murder & bought the book anyway.  I was captivated from page one.  This book is very good & I felt I could actually "see" what was happening.  Highly recommend it.

I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book made me feel so smart. I learned so much that I am shocked I didn't know about the collapse of the Soviet Union and the nuclear aftermath -- really interesting stuff. At the same time, it is not just a history textbook, it definitely has a good plot and the characters are interesting. There are a lot of characters, and at times the rapid POV changes threw me off, but it's not too bad. You get a lot of different angles and opinions on a complex topic. I also liked that while there are definitely two main characters, there are several intriguing subplots that all weave together. It was a nice effect.

I was a little slow getting into the book, but after about 50 pages it really starts to pick up speed, and it's totally worth it, so definitely keep at it.

I finished most of the book on a car trip, and now I wish there was more to read :( (frownie face! Nothing can express my pain so acutely)
