Thanks for the review. Though religious books are not in my wheelhouse, I will pass this on to family and friends who it will interest.

A mix of tragedy and humour.. Let the children out must be an interesting book. Most importantly a Christian literature, I'm definitely going to be reading this. Thanks reviewer!

Although so much religiousness isn't my cup of tea, the summary looks interesting.
Will definitely give it a read.

This sounds like an interesting book. I wonder if George ends up turning his life around, or does he slip even further into the destructive lifestyle? It sounds like this is a story about finding oneself and embracing faith. Thanks for the detailed review.

Grief, bitterness, friendship, rebelliousness, and betrayal are often things we all feel to varying degrees throughout life. It sounds like this author was able to poignantly convey his feelings on several difficult topics. Thank you for your insightful review.

The message in this book about redemption is very compelling. I feel like the protagonist is a very relatable character to most people going through bad phases in their lives. I am curious to see if the protagonist managed to change his character because of his friend. I love this book.

No matter what we are facing, be it loss, pain, or gain, it is good to know that we are not alone in our struggles. We can trust God, whether as a last resort or otherwise; he will always be there to produce positive change. Thanks to the author for reminding us of the redemptive power of God through George's experience, and thank you for a great review.

The storyline is a relatable one, and I believe teenagers can learn and understand the need to live right with the life of George and Beta in the book. Nice review.

I had no idea that George started out as a wild child. Most of what I know of him are from his later years after receiving Christ as his Savior. Thank you for your informative review!

Thanks for the review. I think what I am looking forward to is the look on George's face the moment he sees the change in the life of his "partner in crime." Congrats on being the BOTD.
