This book was actually pretty good! As I said in my previous post, I had no preface to it, so I had no idea what I was getting into. Although there was a romantic element in the book, this was more of an action based novel which kept me very involved and wondering what would happen next. The main character was stuck in the woods fighting for his life all the while finding himself and realizing the what is most important to him.
There were a few good highlights from this novel.
" How we spend our time defines who we are. What we do with our days determines our destinies."
"... life laughs at the plans we make, and the dreams and ambitions of youth quickly morph into the embarrassing memories of adulthood."
"Time. We talk about buying it or saving it, but we can do neither. We all spend it at a cost of sixty seconds a minute, sixty minutes an hour, and twenty-four hours per day. It's running out for all of us and there's nothing we can do about it. We can break every clock we encounter, and our lives will still continue to tick away, counting down to the bang or whimper or big silence that bookends the backside of our lives."
This book encourages us to not take days for granted, do what matters to you, find your passion and don't let anything get in the way of that because you never know when it is too late.
