From the Abyss 2, takes you on a journey with a man who is re-learning who he is. A man starting over and making mistakes on the way.There were several elements that I like about this story.1) I liked the fact that the read was personable. Basically, from the go you can relate with the author and immediately you find yourself as part of his life.2) I enjoyed the parts where the author felt insecure and questioned himself. This gave you the feeling of "Wow, he's human too."3) I loved how he relates the difficulty of trying to help the woman he loves raise her child, although that child is not his own. More than that, the honesty of how troublesome that child was and his tactics of interacting with him.4) Although this is the 2nd part in a collection, it can easily stand on it's own.5) It was impressive how honest he was about his indecisiveness as it pertained to what woman it was that he wanted.6) One of my favorite parts was when the author spoke of having purchased his first home, and how it was a mess. The way the author went about describing his venture to fix it and what drove him to bring the home up to par. It was sweet, charming and amusing all at once.7) I also really love how he talks about the fact that he met his girlfriend and soon to be wife online and how he felt about the entire thing initially. That kept me giggling most of the way through.I don't want to give out too much about the story, but suffice it to say that I enjoyed it very much. I highly recommend this book, because it reads more like a testimonial-slash-novel, than an autobiography.Great, inspirational, endearing read.
