Customer Reviews

never to late

This book was written so well that I had a hard time remembering who the author really was. I could relate to Horace and his hungar for acceptance, not from the ones who were closest to him, but the mystery of newness, the mystery of who he really was. The character is simple, yet fascinating in the way he incorporates his writing into his life, creating ideas as he journeys into something he feels so compelled to solve. I could relate to his thoughts and his ways of expressing his passions. We never really know what will happen next in our lives, at any age, life ends when we choose to stop living. Cast in Doubt was an interesting reminder to keep searching within myself, you never know where excitement lies. That is my simple review.
