Summary: A Good Start
Review: While this book was a great start for a new author, the editing, and overall organization of the book made it hard to identify the central focus of the story. There are several segments that are awkwardly placed, leaving the reader to ask, "Why is this included in the book??" ie- 'Guide to Player Understanding' -- This novel was not a guide to understanding the mentality of a player. And furthermore, the points noted in this segment have more to do with women and what they think than they do men. The different stories are somewhat scattered, disappearing abruptly -- only to resurface in the middle of a completely different storyline. The sloppy "piecing together" of the book made it hard to regard the novel as a professional piece. The issues that mattered most were quickly combed over, while the author seems to drone on and on about silly issues with girls. It causes the author to appear shallow and self-centered, which is never flattering when the story of an abuse victim is being told. In addition, the author constantly insults the reader by overstating the obvious and repeatedly clarifying simple concepts. The story deserves to be told, but needs serious polishing. Again, a great start, but with much room for improvement.

Summary: A JOURNEY OF HOPE, FAITH, AND GUMPTION
Review: Wow! This book was compelling to me. I seen myself in Nathan's life's journey. I must admit that by reading his reviews on Amazon.com some people of Massachusetts just don't like him personally. ... Read this book with an open mind not with condemnation .. I was so amazed how Nathan found his mother and I wish the best for his biological family. Let's be kind and not be cruel. I do not support Nathan's player's way during his immature years, I doubt that he would write about if he was living a contradiction of his book. ... This book is not for judgmental and perfect people. I will buy as many copies that I can afford and give them away... God Bless America
