Year old review of Never Ceese.

There are many such reviews of Never Ceese and Forever Richard that you won't find on Amazon. So don't think going there will tell you all there is to know about a book. Most legitimate reviews are everywhere else. ;)

This was from fellow writer Susan Kirkland who later published her book Higher Honor AND mentioned Never Ceese in it! Needless say I was honored. That too is a dang good book and you should READ it!!!

So on with the "year old" review. LOL


Never Ceese presented an interesting problem for the Kirkland household. You see, pre-Ceese, we lived in a smaller house. Yes, I’m going somewhere with this. To be precise, the bathroom. We had one bathroom in the little house and all good reads went to this multifunctional library. That way, EVERYONE had a chance to read a book at the same time.

But, then we moved to the "big" house -- which has 2.5 bathrooms. I spent a great deal of time hopping, legs crossed, through the house, screaming "Where’s THE BOOK?" as if it were some sort of requirement for bathroom duty. I argued several times with my husband, who was also reading it, about why I needed it to go to the bathroom. Fortunately, I’m a fast reader and finished it, accident free, in just a few days. That just left my husband and our two teenagers to fight over it. More than once, we’d sneak upstairs to check on the kids and find our 14yr old, asleep using an open Never Ceese for a pillow. And we have been loud, outspoken, and feverent recommenders of Never Ceese since then -- and that’s been over a year ago.

I could talk about how deep and complex the characters were, as well as how thought-provoking the whole book is on matters of grace and mercy. I could tell you how this was a good, easy read for teens through adults, even with its depth. I could tell you about it being short listed for a Bram Stoker and ACFW Book of the Month, but you’ll read all those acolades at other sites (because you will visit them) But I’ve said enough and now I need something to read as I hop to the bathroom. . .


The Kirkland household is eat up with Richard and Ceese. ;)

Love ya'll!
