A Circle Around Forever

I received an e-version of A Circle Around Forever in exchange for an honest review.

This is an awesome book! It's kind of hard to describe without giving away spoilers (which you know I hate).

Author Robert K. Swisher Jr. has told an epic tale of life, love, and deep emotion in a generation spanning story that will at times break your heart, fill you with rage, lift you to heights of joy, lower you depths of despair. What more could you ask from a book?

The characters are so compelling you can't help but experience many mixed emotions about each of them. It is at times a very painful book to read, and I feared I would not be able to finish it because of the emotions it stirred in me. I think this speaks to the skill of the story teller, to wring such powerful feelings out of a reader is a true gift. Obviously (and happily), I did finish the book. And, I am so glad I did!

The joy and subtle humor of the ending is too delicious to miss. I can't express adequately how emotionally satisfying A Circle Around Forever is.

Readers of my reviews will undoubtedly see that I generally give positive reviews of the books I read (why shouldn't I? I only read books that interest me), but A Circle Around Forever went well beyond mere enjoyment of a book. It truly touched me emotionally. There is really nothing I can add to this review that would be of value.

I strongly encourage you to read A Circle Around Forever, but be prepared, it may well be to you what it was to me, more than just a really good book. Enjoy!
