Little Black Sheep: A Memoir by Ashley Cleveland

Five out of Five Stars!

The author did an amazing job with writing a story in such a way that you are able to connect with the characters! I feel that sometimes it is very difficult to write a good christian novel. Some stories try really hard to keep the faith in the story that just make it hard to either relate or connect with the charters. While others I feel struggle with understanding faith and what comes with it. With this story, the author did an amazing job balancing everything out. The writing was very well written, great reading pace and grad the reader to want to keep on reading. Lesson to be learned: Even if you feel that you are a black sheep or just not worth the time, God has a plan. He never forgets any of his sheep!

Oh my word, what can I say? So I read the summary of the book, and thought this is going to be a great thriller. Low and behold, I was disappointed. The pace of the reading we well written. However, the flow of the story is where I was not too fond of. There were so many different direction the author was trying to take with the story which took away from how good the book could have been. When the author changed up the direction or flow of the story it made it frustrating when reading. All the tell tell signs of issues, I feel should have came up towards beginning of book as opposed to popping up in random spots within the story. To me if the author focus primarily on a specific direction in which the flow of the book would go; such as the dad and his infidelity, or the brother and best friend dating, it would help the reader grasp the story in such a way that they would want to keep reading the book and move on to the next series.

Five out of Five Stars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holly mother of pearl! This is my first Historical book that I chose to read, and read it from beginning to end. I loved it, every bit of the story. Boys that come from struggles from every part of life during the great depression. They came up and won gold in the 1936 Olympics! Amazing and inspiring story!
