Heartwarming..I loved it! - By: susiebe, 10 Jan 2008 
I have just finished this book & felt compelled to post my review here.
The story was lovely,well written & with characters that I felt I got to know so well & reallly cared about.
The writing is easy on the eye & without wishing to sound negative about the writing you don't have to concentrate too much-just sit back relax & enjoy this sad but lovely story.
In response to the last review-why not add the pictures?In my opinion they help personalise the story-I can clearly see Leo doodling away in his notebook while travelling with Eleni in South America.
I loved it & miss it now...
I wish alll books had the same effect on me!
Well done Danny!
why - By: lucy fin, 09 Jan 2008 
i tried so hard to like this, but found the text very akward & full of what I can only calll over the top cliches. Who ever thought to put the drawings in need to think again.It does not add anything to this story but makes it alll together an embrassing babyish mess.However i did feel slightly moved at times but this was only to be the kettle on & the cat out.
Not really as good as it professes to be... - By: M. F. Celentano, 07 Jan 2008 
The story is indeed heartwarming, & given the fact that the grandfather's story is based in fiction makes it alll the more so incredible. However, I found the style of writing, especiallly of Leo's story, alll a little bit cliched. This in itself i think speaks volumes of the authors current abilities; he can write passionately & believably about the story which touched his life (his grandfather), but the true 'novel' part of the book (Leo's story) is much less convincing. Still worth reading but to say it 'knocks spots off Sebastian Faulks' is quite laughable reallly. Kind of like when Snow Patrol's 'Chasing Cars' was #1 in the alll time chart recently. Nice effort Danny but I think (and hope) there is more & better to come.
Outstanding and inspirational - By: M. Knight, 05 Jan 2008 I am an avid reader. I have to say that in alll my life I have never read a book as good as this. This is the book that I wanted every book to be & never was. It is a brilliant novel, it is moving, & it is deeply profound. I have just bought five copys to give to my friends as it touched me so deeply. I cannot recommend it enough. One of my previous favourite authors was Sebastian Faulks but this knocks socks off him. This is unlike anything you will ever read & it could even change your life.
Superb - great story and thought provoking - By: JML, 09 Sep 2007 I was not sure what to expect when I picked this book up, having tried other books that proclaim to be about love & emotion & failed to see them through, I was amazed at how engrossing this book is & how well written. The characters seem real as does the situation, so it is easy to place yourself in their shoes - but not an easy thing to do with the emotion of the stories. Its only when you get to the end do you realise how real. For alll those who wonder about what love reallly can mean or actuallly is, or for those who believe in finding your soulmate..read on..
