This book was so amazing. I read the book after I read the Bridge and I think it is a great prequel. I really enjoyed seeing how The Bridge came about. I also enjoyed how reading books can change a person's life and how God can work in anyone's life. God can give people hope, grace and mercy, through anyway He chooses, even books.

Although this is not of my favorite books by Karen Kingsbury I still did enjoy this book. It was relatable to me in a number of ways especially to Bailey. It was crazy to see how relationship that one might have can change such as with Bailey and Cody. The reason why I give this book 4 out of five stars is although it was captivating during some parts, other pieces of the book were just harder to get through.

The book didn't grab my attention until I was about 70% done with the book. I did like how Melanie Benjamin wrote in depth about each of the characters. Overall, the book was not the best, but reading more about who the real Alice from Alice Adventures in Wonderland did gravitate me towards reading this book. I also think if you enjoy historical fiction, this would a book you may enjoy.

I really did enjoy this book. I have read a few books on the topic of Hell before. There are many things I like about this book. I enjoy the appendix and the number of footnotes, so I can look up more information if needed. I do like how he explained what happened after God brought him to hell. Overall, I think this is a decent book.

This book was a unique book to me. Not in the way in it's ending but the way it was written. I do like Herman Koch's writing style and the way the story weaves between the past and present. Although the ending was a little shocking, it didn't really surprise me. The writing to me did make up for this. I liked the stream of consciousness with the mixture of the scene. Overall this is a great suspense book and I will be looking into more of Herman Koch's writing.

This book was fantastic. It changed my life. I highlight so many things and I took a lot of notes. I love the honesty that Kyle and Kelsey put into their book. This book was really relatable to me and I loved how they always brought the subject back to chasing God. I highly recommend this book to all girls and women.
