You're Never Too Late is one of those truly ironic tales that involves many different aspects of great literature. It doesn't surprise me that this book would make it nearly all the way to the very top of my all-time favorite novels- after all, it was written by a great author and the language is thus quite superb. But I also wish to mention, for the purpose and resource of those readers who are looking for a truly great read and are not seeking merely just a regular old story about love and passion, that this book also involves a lot of deep thinking and pondering that is sometimes lacking in other novels of this variety. For instance, some books about love and passion tend to be just mindless descriptions of things that are happening within a certain character's life- they get married or otherwise involved with another person in a relationship or even maybe simply at a bar and then their experience of sex and love becomes a significant part of the story that changes the reader's view on pretty much nothing, educating him or her in basically no way whatsoever and thus being relatively hopeless as a great novel. However, this novel is different because it involves the exact opposite of the past description- it actually has quite a lot of meaning behind it and is quite powerful as a stand out book about love and human devotion. What I like about this fact is that it actually makes you, the reader, begin to think about the characters much more in depth and really consider things about the story. Because of this, the reader is not only forced to think a lot, he or she is also educated about something throughout the process, because thinking is what leads to learning and learning is a very powerful thing because, of course, it tends to lead, on most occasions, to the wonderful world of knowledge and understanding.I really enjoyed this particular book because it was also quite unique and did not stick by the usual methods of writing that writers like Sandra Ross use. Usually, those writers who write these kinds of books tend to be still amateur writers who know little about writing descriptively and with deep meaning. However, Sandra Ross herself is most certainly not a novice when it comes to being an author- she is a truly great and passionate author who works hard with obvious clarity to specifically describe every single individual part or scene of her novel, no matter what it happens to be, and makes sure her reader actually envisions it. Besides this, she also makes sure that her readers actually think about her writing and understand every single part.
