May Book Review

Half way through the first chapter of "The Final Summit" by Andy Andrews I realized this was book two in a series. It took me a while to understand what in the world the characters were talking about. What "The Final Summit" really is, is a motivational book masquarading as a novel. It's set up as though all of the big names throughout history have come together to stop the demise of humanity. A number of "You can do it" statements are given and discussed by historic figures such as Joan of Arc and Abraham Lincoln. Up until the last couple of chapters I didn't enjoy this book. There was too much licence taken where the angel Gabriel was involved,(He was the one who organized this summit of characster) (Certainly this was not a christian book) and the solutions given by the characters lacked punch. By the end of the last chapter though, I felt strangely encouraged to keep doing what I know to be right and more. Could it be that just as children learn best through games, adults learn better through novels instead of self help manuals? Well, we'll see if I'm still inspired to do something great in the next few days.

I got this book for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine.
