The Simple Gift

Reader reviewed by carmen alexis

With a story that is based on poems and verses, the author has to be
able to capture the interest of readers and tell a story in a matter of
words. And Steven Herrick definitely did that. It's been awhile since I
was able to read one of these novels mostly because I get distracted
easily. But Billy definitely held my interest as he took me on his
adventure. It was a touching story and imagines the life of a runaway.
It also gives hope to those unfortunate souls that they can still be
saved and find a place in the world.

This boook was all good until the final pages. Even though the ending left us thinking it was dodgy that we didnt read a conclusion instead of the end of a chapter.All over the book shown many good issues about world but was to UNREAL. The book focussed on too smaller part of billys life and didnt give us a bigger idea of the rest of it. As it being UNREAL the Arthur Steven Herrick makes life as a bum to be worthwhile and to get out there and be homeless. But realistically life as a homeless bum is un worth it and it ruins your life. All over this book is un worthit really unless your forced to read it at school.
