Resumen del Editor
Call it fate...
Call it synchronicity...
Call it an act of God...
Call it…The Good Luck of Right Now.
For 38 years, Bartholomew Neil has lived with his mother. When she gets sick and dies, he has no idea how to be on his own. His redheaded grief counselor, Wendy, says he needs to find his flock and leave the nest. But how does a man whose whole life has been grounded in his mom, Saturday Mass, and the library learn how to fly?
Bartholomew thinks he's found a clue when he discovers a "Free Tibet" letter from Richard Gere hidden in his mother's underwear drawer. In her final days, Mom called him Richard - there must be a cosmic connection. Believing that the actor is meant to help him, Bartholomew awkwardly starts his new life by writing Richard Gere a series of letters. Jung and the Dalai Lama, philosophy and faith, alien abduction and cat telepathy, the Catholic Church and the mystery of women, are all explored in his soul-baring epistles. But mostly the letters reveal one man's heartbreakingly earnest attempt to assemble a family of his own.
A struggling priest; a "Girlbrarian"; her feline-loving, foul-mouthed brother; and the spirit of Richard Gere join the quest to help Bartholomew. In a rented Ford Focus, they travel to Canada to see the Cat Parliament and find Bartholomew's biological father…and discover so much more.

Historia
Lucas Goodgame lives in Majestic, Pennsylvania, a quaint suburb that has been torn apart by a recent tragedy. Everyone in Majestic sees Lucas as a hero—everyone, that is, except Lucas himself. Insisting that his deceased wife, Darcy, visits him every night in the form of an angel, Lucas spends his time writing letters to his former Jungian analyst Karl. It is only when Eli, an 18-year-old young man whom the community has ostracized, begins camping out in Lucas’s backyard that an unlikely alliance takes shape and the two begin a journey to heal their neighbors and themselves.

During his years in a neural-health facility, Pat Peoples has formulated a theory about silver linings. He believes that his life is a movie produced by God, that his mission is to become physically fit and emotionally supportive, and that if he succeeds, his happy ending will be the return of his estranged wife, Nikki. When Pat goes to live with his parents, everything seems changed: no one will talk to him about Nikki, and his new therapist seems to be recommending adultery as a form of therapy.

A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass on New Zealand’s South Island, cutting off the town of Thorndike and leaving a sizable farm abandoned. The disaster presents an opportunity for Birnam Wood, an undeclared, unregulated, sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. For years, the group has struggled to break even. To occupy the farm at Thorndike would mean a shot at solvency at last. But the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine also has an interest in the place.

Marina Keegan's star was on the rise when she graduated magna cum laude from Yale in May 2012. She had a play that was to be produced at the New York International Fringe Festival and a job waiting for her at the New Yorker. Tragically, five days after graduation, Marina died in a car crash. Even though she was just 22 when she died, Marina left behind a rich, expansive trove of prose that, like her title essay, captures the hope, uncertainty, and possibility of her generation.

Tom Violet always thought that by the time he turned 35, he’d have everything going for him. Fame. Fortune. A beautiful wife. A satisfying career as a successful novelist. A happy dog to greet him at the end of the day. The reality, though, is far different. He’s got a wife, but their problems are bigger than he can even imagine. And he’s written a novel, but the manuscript he’s slaved over for years is currently hidden in his desk drawer while his father, an actual famous writer, just won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. His career, such that it is, involves mind-numbing corporate buzzwords....

Loved every minute of this story!
The best part about this feel-good book was the reminder that no matter what the obstacles are in front of you or how bad life can seem to get, there is always positivity in some of the darkest moments.

Comes together in the end...But it takes 7 hours
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I think so. Honestly, after "Silver Linings..." I was expecting something of similar momentum. In style, I suppose it is. Finishing it, it suddenly feels like it was a cohesive, easy flowing story all along. That is not at all how I felt listening up until then.

"Dear Mr. Henshaw" for Grown-ups
The premise of this book was highly original, with the main character, Bartholomew, relating his story in a series of letters to Richard Gere. The characters are flawed, broken, but loveable. Note: One character does have a major cursing issue. So, if you are put off by excessive use of the F-word (like I am), be warned. However, there's no malice in it, and like Bartholomew, I got used to it, liking the character, despite the language. I enjoyed this book because it focused on one of my favorite themes - Life can be unfair and cruel, and not turn out the way you would choose; but you can choose your attitude in responding to it. Whatever happens, you always have to move forward; it helps if you have friends.

Great characters
A great quirky book. The odd mix of characters keeps you guessing at every turn. The narrators voice has a unique point of view. Highly recommend this book if you want something a little different

Poor Narration of Female Characters
PLEASE STOP with the fake, high, breathy voice for female characters! Just read the text in a normal voice and trust your listeners to do the rest. I almost gave up on this wonderful book because of the poor narrative of female characters.

Insider view of crazy...
I felt I was inside the head of Bartholomew Neil. The story made me look at his life looking out of his eyes. It is not an easy point of view. I wonder if Richard Gere ever read this book?

I'm a Mathew Quick fan, anyway, lol. This was such a great book, pulling out emotions from every angle. Well done and absolutely hilarious in places. Narration was superb.

AMAZING
This was easily the best book I've read (well, listened to) in recent memory. The words are tender, humorous, thought-provoking, quirky, and positive. Bartholomew Neil is an kind and innocent man, likely on the autism spectrum, who has lived through some unspeakably sad events. The book opens up with him in the wake of his mothers death and chronicles his healing process in series of letters to (who else?) Richard Gere. Bartholomew's pain is so beautifully tragic and is foiled through supporting characters including a physically abused grief counselor, alcoholic priest, introverted librarian, and potty-mouth who is grieving the loss of his cat. While I actively cried at multiple parts of this book, I left the reading feeling an overwhelming sense of positivity. I had previously enjoyed Silver Linings and enjoyed the similarities of these two novels (i.e., healing after loss, quirky characters, Philly grit), but feel as though this book was far superior.
The narration was the best I've heard in my history of Audible and will become the standard by which I measure future audiobooks. I am SO happy I *listened* to this book and cannot imagine my brain would be able to bring the characters to life the way Mr. Wyman did.

Sweet story full of quirky people
This book was excellent as an audiobook in large part because of the narrator. But it's a great story full of quirky people trying to make sense of their lives . Underneath is the general theme that the stories we tell about the meaning of our lives should not be evaluated for truth as much as for how kind they make us.
