Title: Good to read of overcomers, but did not hold interest!
Product review: I read this book because Oprah recommended it and she usually has Sixth Sense when it comes to good books!I wish I had ordered Martha Stewart's new book instead.Although Frey is a good writer--even masterful in places--too much of the book was repetitious.One thing he does well is flesh out his characters so they become real, enabling his readers to sympathize with them. I felt the pain of his characters, but the joy of reading about the "overcomers" was the highlight of the book. And his dialogue seems realistic.While I think this book might benefit some people with addictive personalities--in danger of becoming addicted to alcohol and/or drugs--I could only give it a 4-star. It's not for everyone.
