Review: Your not the only one
Rating: 4 out of 5

I chose this rating because it is a genre I usually do not read and it is a series of short but humorous stories that have a morale to their endings. This book deserved the four stars. It is well written, easy to read and applies to readers of various age groups.One of my favorite things about this book is the lessons learned and how they apply to real life. You can definitely relate to the author and maybe have some of the same crazy experiences yourself and you realize you are not the only one out there who had these bad/funny experiences. I laughed out loud at certain stories and ended with a smile on my face, a positive attitude, and loving that an author could be so open, honest, and willing to poke fun at himself. What more can you ask of a book when you feel great after reading it.What I disliked about the book is that a few stories left me asking the question of why. Why did this happen, or why this response, etc. I also wished it was longer in length (it took less than an hour for me to read it), but that is just because I like books with 500+ pages. As a first time author, he has done a great job and I do look forward to seeing how he develops in his writing.I would recommend this book to everyone, but most importantly fifth grade on up. Anyone who has been bullied or suffers from not having enough confidence in themselves could learn a few things from this book. Definitely have your middle school child read this if they are struggling during this time in their life. It may just make these years a lot easier.I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.
