Unconventional Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The was a very good read, and considering that it was self-published I was impressed with the quality of the writing and editing. I loved most of the book and had planned to give it 5 stars. However, toward the end I felt like portions were overdone. After James moved into his own place for example I feel like the author spent way too long describing his depression. I understand that he was going through some very difficult things, but I got the point 5 sentences before the author stopped describing it. I also in general do not like stories that start off with everything going horribly wrong and then all the sudden everything starts going great. I did appreciate the author showing James' hard work, but I would have appreciated a little more variation in the way things happened. "

" I enjoyed Unconventional from the cover art to the final page. Sometimes a story or a character will compel the reader to examine life from a fresh perspective, and Unconventional does just that. The clever parallels drawn between Robert Frost and the main character, James Frost, convey a foundation of inspiration that lovers of the poet will really appreciate. An entertaining and very touching read, I recommend it to anyone who loves a great story. "

" Not a fan. It did not read well. "

" I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Each character is different and interesting, yet they all seem to come together in a very rewarding way. I would recommend this book to any reader! "

" Well, come on...of course this is a great book. I'm the author. How could I not give the tome five stars? "

" Unconventional is a heartwarmining story of a young mans dream of becoming a published writer. Has love, humor, heatbreak and inspiration. Wondeful read for a first time author. Recommed highly for a great read. "

" I really enjoy it. I like the way that the novel is written makes me feel like am there. I can really relate to this story line because I chose a different route then the norm as far going to college. Good Job so far J.J. Herbert! "

" The overall story was entertaining and inspiring. However, some of the religious views were overemphasized. To the wrong reader it would be a definite turn off. "

" Pretty good, especially for his first book. About a kid who decides not to be conventional. He doesn't go to college, but works as a janitor while he finishes writing his first book and tries to get it published. Didn't want to put it down once I started reading. "

" This book was ok, I got a bit worried that it was going to turn into a christian preach but it didn't really. "

" Still waiting for the next chapter of this on Podiobooks.com. I've caught up with the author... but am enjoying this "clean" book on a man fulfilling his dreams. "

" This is a decent read. It is corny is some places, especially in how quickly a cynic drops right into and is completely comfortable with religion. But overall, it is a good and touching story that is worth the time. "

" This was an interesting book about youth, the power of love, the power in believing in God, which takes many twists and turns along the way. Will not say more so as not to ruin in for a new reader, but highly recommend this book. "

" I enjoyed this book; it was an easy read. It was a little different than most Christian books. I enjoyed this debut novel; writing was quite a change from his previous vocation (janitor). Good job, JJ. "

" I really liked this book. There were so many parts that I identified with the "self-talk" that James experienced, but for the grace of God. Entertaining and not disappointed in the ending. :) "

" good story line but the best characters were not developed enough...I will keep looking for his next book "
