I loved the book as I live in Colorado and know where Miramont is located. The book was well written and I didn't expect that ending at all. I was sorry it ended.

I loved the book for as far as it went. I'd like to read more about Rachael and Dex's adventures in Kansas.

Great book. Had a hard time putting it down! As a former Colorado resident, I could easily imagine being back there, being in a small town and small mountain county. For a good read, read Cold Lake.

I love Michael Bush's book. I just wish he had visited in central NC so I could have gotten him to sign it. Smaller cities love the book to Michael. Please don't dismiss the larger cities in most states where people can meet you. Just sayin'. <3

Every day I am reminded of the beauty of the mountains living in Castle Rock, Colorado.  During some surfing on Amazon.com, I ran across this book about climbing the 14 highestmountains in the world.  These mountains are all over 26,000 feet.  The man who accomplished this task is Ed Viesturs, who was the first American to ever complete the goal.  The book chronicles his journey up and down the Goliath mountains.  The book is an excellent read that causes the pages to be pushed forward at a rapid pace.  The story is interesting and excellent.  This accomplish is amazing on all facets because of the danger that is involved in climbing these peaks.  Every mountain has a story and a lot of the mountains tell cruel stories of death and destruction, but through the narrative Ed continues to continue.  He was a smart climber, never going beyond his limits, except one frightful time on K2.  He learned a valuable lesson that day.  This was one of the best books that I have read recently.  I enjoyed the book so much that now I am motivated to climb a 14,000 feet mountains, the biggest ones in Colorado.  The mountain is Pike's Peak.  The book also inspires people to accomplish their personal goals in life, whatever that goal is it can be summited.

I absolutely loved this book.  It was deeply inspiring.  I stumbled onto it.  My sister-in-law read it for her book club.  I picked it up after her because we were at the beach and I needed something to read.  What a surprise! I am a transplanted Texan and grew up in Ft. Worth so that was especially fun to see my home cowtown all hashed out. Much more than that, though, was the wonderful true story and the jaw dropping inspiration of Debbie Moore and all she touched. She really walked the walk and never wanted any glory.  Denver and Ron found each other just when they needed it most. I'm glad they haven't caught and released and that Denver made it back from that scary drive to Colorado.

After having have lived in Denver for decades,
I thought this book helped to explain our many neighborhoods as no other book I've read does.
I loved it  and given it as a gift.

I was thrilled to read a book who's setting was in our local Rocky Mountain Region in Colorado.  I enjoyed the mixture of romance, drama and had a few good "laughs" along the way.  Liked it a lot!!  Now my sister wants to read it, too.

This book is thoroughly enjoyable, with recipes at the end.  There is the usual action packed pace, many fun friends, the culture and climate of Colorado mountain cities, especially this fictional one.  And, the surprise ending!  I look forward to many more great books by Diane Mott Davidson

Love the book, I was pulled in to both characters and I craved more when it ended. However, if you're going to right about a specific location you need to fact check. For example,  we are not by the coast so you have to drive at least 30mins out of Portland for any rocky beach. Oregon/New Jersey have strict laws about self service gas so we cannot pump our own. And you made up a school. I am proud to be an Oregonian so please do right by my state.

I Just loved the book!!  My mother was from the area and a visit to Boulder Park was a must during summer vacations.  Facinating story on the origins of the park's beautiful carousel and how Boulder Park came to be. Wonderfully written, loads of great photos!!!  A must for the carousel lover and for anyone who was lucky enough to visit the park when it was in operation. The pictures of the park brought tears to my eyes!!!

I've worked in the rental shop at Mammoth for 8 years now....my boss being one of the characters in the book. I absolutely loved the book because I can relate to it in many ways...a lot is still the same up here in the shop as it is in the book. Besides that....its a great story that captures the lifestyle of living in a ski town and surfing/bummin/traveling in the summer. I definitely recommend this to anybody who wants a good laugh, but at the same time wants to get stoked on a good adventure

This book is iconic as it is written by a lifelong Colorado resident who happens to be a professional photographer as I am. It is invaluable to anyone
who plans on visiting Colorado with a primary interest in the scenery. Although I have some great travel books in my large collection I wish
there was a book of this quality written by a  native of Utah (and other states as well)  who would also happen to be a professional landscape photographer. A tremendous amount of effort went into the writing and the photography in this book.

I saw this book while I was visiting Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado and knew I had to have it. I love the illustrations and the information provided on each park. I'm going to start marking down the parks as I visit them with the intention of one day visiting them all. Go out and enjoy our national treasures and pick up one of these while you're at it. You won't regret it.

I like how the author described the characters and the western landscape.  I have traveled through Colorado,etc and recalled the snow tipped mountains and native flowers.  I enjoyed reading about faith and love.

I picked this book up by chance on Kindle and started reading it while I waited for a couple of books to arrive in the mail. Loved the story and the fact it was set in Denver, one of my favorite places. A great, feel-good, lying by the pool/ocean kind of read

I live in Colorado, but purchased this book after using other Fodor Guides on travels. It's a great way for me to explore my own state, and I've planned some great weekend getaways after receiving this book.
