The Simple Gift

Reader reviewed by Nikki

I Loved the simple gift, the characters, the descriptions of the settings in the book as well as the fact that the book was written in free verse.
This was the first book of free verse I have ever read and now I can't wait to read more.
I know many teens that ususally don't like to read that have been completely absorbed by this wonderful book and it's fantastic characters
The simple gift is truly a heart warming, emotional, rollercoaster ride of a novel that can be enjoyed by all ages and walks of life, thankyou to steven Herrick for giving us the gift of such a wonderful free verse novel

This book is seriously the best thing I've read ever. Its so powering and it shows how life can be tough and sometimes you just have to pick yourself up and not depend on anyone else. The only thing I think was bad about this book was that Billy never made peace with his Dad.

I found this almost like an autobiography. It was wrote with great depth and made you wonder what would happen to Billy. I thought that the story line kept on moving, so it didn't get boring and lumpy.

Steven Herrick is a prime example of a modern writter who will soon become a classic author in years to come.

Hey, just wanted to say that i think this book is one of the best i have ever read. steven may say that he cant dipict what the female thinks or how she acts but i think that you did it beautifully without falling into the common trap of chauvinism which is what many male authors do. your plot is fantastic and the characters to me feel real so once again congrats on a fantastic piece of writing
