I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It gave me experiences I wasnt expecting and left me enriched.
Yesterdays Tomorrow covers a lot of ground, continent and time wise, but does it well. I was surprised a few times by how fast some sections moved through time, but it wasnt jarring.
The story. What a great one! Set in Vietnam during the war, I saw it all. I could feel the crack of gunfire and felt the panic of a landmine waiting to blow up. Some of the lines are so charged and empowered I wanted to soak in their depth. They were nuggets that took me by surprise and catapulted the story forward.
I wish I could go into everything I loved about the plot line, but a short review just isnt conducive. Its filled with twists, high concepts and a love story that took my breath awaymore than once.
Dialogue was excellent, wow! Very good. I did think the first half of the book or so was a bit choppy and labeled emotions instead of drawing me in, but still the story transcended and the flow seemed to iron itself out as the book went on. I would have liked the faith aspect to go a bit deeper, but I think what was on the page worked for the characters. This is just my personal preference.
Over all a good book. Im very pleased with this find.
This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the author/publisher for copy to review.
