Customer Reviews

I like this book.

Book Review The book that I was reading was called Hold Fast, and going to tell you about my overall evaluation about how good or bad the story was. I believe that the book hold fast was a very good book because of the events that happen in the story. I like the main character Michael, Because of the kind of situation that he was in and what he did to control it. I also liked the story because I can relate to some of the events that happen in the story. There was nothing in the book I disagreed with. But overall it was a funny and excited book to read, and I enjoyed it very much. The next thing about the book I am going to talk to you about is how interesting was the book, why didn't or why did I keep reading it. Because the main character Michael was telling the story it made it more interesting because there was more felling to the story. Also because Michael knows about every event that happen because he was there, so the way the story was told by Michael's point of view is the real way the story should be told. I will recommend this book to every one who needs to know how hard and important life is. People how are going through pain and hare times should read this book so they know they are not the only one in the world that is having problems. Whatever the situation is they need to fight through there problems and try to mike thing happen for them. So I will recommend this book to people how don't know how important life really is to everyone. Andrew Bent.
