The Book
"I rate this book 5 out of 5. I’d give it a 6 if it were mathematically possible. Did I mention that I love this book? The Corrections message is simple: life is like being trapped on a runaway train, but hang on tight people, it’s a beautiful trip." -Laura Merrill Miller for Curled Up With a Good Book
