" Not anyway as good as the first ones. Characters were too perfect as people. All bad things were made "good" so it was too unbelievable. "
" I loved finding out about Joshua as a child. "
" It seemed like this book had the potential to be incredibly inspiring, but it feel flat. The story and characters seems one-dimensional and anti-climatic. And at times trite. I liked that it was an overall uplifting book. "
