Classic story of forgiveness

…and a young life reborn, after all seemed lost. Definitely not just for a YA audience.

A enjoyable book

The book was great and narrated well. Paul Fleischmann never ceases to amaze me. He's simply wonderful.

Excellent book about redemption

Excellent narrators that make Brent Bishop’s story of redemption come to life. The various narrators immerse the listen into the story. Brent’s mistakes can be forgiven, and the good he creates helps and inspires others

amazing book

I loved it I wanted to keep reading I loved how the readers read it

Love the voice actors and the story

I was required to read this for my English class, but I was pleasantly surprised. Very real and inspiring

Thoughtful, Engaging

At first I wasn't sure I'd like it, since it starts out with a teenage party drinking scene and middle school romantic silliness. But the point is that the characters grow away from that. It ended up being a great listen, which left me with a gentle feeling of connectedness with the greater human works. My only criticism was that in part of the first chapter there was a female narrator voicing two characters; I couldn't tell the characters apart some of the time.

Worth the time

Is book is intriguing. I enjoyed it much more then I thought I would. I would definitely recommend it to others.

Fabulous

This audio book was quite interesting in a good way . It started out as a book that I was being forced to read for a class but turned out as one that I deeply enjoyed and will read/listen to again. Not to Mention the different voice actors that maid the experience truly extraordinary. Decently would recommend!

yeet

pretty cool if u ask me i mean it had dank memes so ya know

Older kids to Adults

This was in the kids section. It starts pretty bleak and I had an immediate dislike of the main character. His behavior was too much for my younger child to comprehend or for me to try to explain. I circled back to finish listening on my own. Worthwhile.
