From The Abyss II opens up and grabs you right back to where we left off. There is something soothing about John even in the middle of chaos. He is soft spoken (maybe it's more like soft hearted) but what pulls me in the most is his sheer honestly. He comes across as real as a snowy day on Christmas. He knows how to serve up a story, offering one small slice at a time.I like how easy it feels to get into his head and understand his plight. He is a man of circumstance but he doesn't fold. He is a survivor here to tell his story in multi-color techno theater. His story comes to life and you are there with him each step of the way. It would be difficult not to feel compassion towards this person who has been dealt some hard blows. I mean, life gets tough for most of us but it takes a special kind of person who is willing to put it all out there like dirty laundry for all to see. He does this with dignity and grace with the hopes that his life lessons, his story will help others. This seems like a Nobel gesture but I am certain as helpful as this story is to others, he is getting some kind of satisfaction on the other end. There is a therapy by sharing your private life in such a explosive revealing manner. I can only applaud this talented person because I do think people can relate to this character and relate to some of the hardships that he has had to endure.This story is told in a beautiful eloquent way. The simplicity is what really draws me in. Nothing fancy, no car races, murders or wild sex. It's just life, perfectly imperfect and the message is loud and clear. Actually there are many positive messages but you will have to search for them yourself. What I find most appealing is what is not said on these pages. It's what's between the lines that have the most meaning. There is so much depth but so much that is up for your own interpretation and that is what makes this story even more appealing, wildly compelling and insightful. At the same time there is plenty of food for thought.This is a great addition to the first tittle and I think both men and women will really relate to "From The Abyss" on some level. I already can't wait for the next installment!"It was at that moment as my emotions hung briefly in limbo that I realized something important. You don't ever know what you are getting. No one can predict the future. No one can predict his or her behavior. Standing there watching as Kim quickly bounced away, I realized that every relationship decision, no matter how informed, is a huge gamble. The girl I met on the Internet was no safer or dangerous than the girl I had been set up with by my good friend. We in the relationship have the power to make it what it is, but the power has to be shared equally. That's the gamble...."
