The One Review, To rule the ALL!, Jan 11 2006
By Hee-Meh-Nez "The One" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roads of Destiny (Hardcover)
If you've ever regretted making a choice thinking that you're life would have been different, then this is the story for you! O Henry's unique style of writing will introduce you to story filled of mystery, suspense and of course a decision. A decision which will lead a certain main character to three roads of which he must choose from.
Three Roads.
Three ways.
Three outcomes.
Now what's alluring about this story is that all three outcomes are shared. And curiously enough they end up having crazy, yet shocking endings. This book will definitely make you think twice about all the decisions you've made in the past. We may think the decisions me make will make a huge difference in our future, yet this story adds a certain twist to the phrase "life changing decisions". What if those "life changing decisions" we make are worth nothing, because ultimately we all have the same outcome? Would that change the way you make your decisions from now on? These are some questions that left me speechless with doubt. I loved the way this book made me think. It was wonderful! O Henry's morbid style of writing and wry outcomes will insure you and definite good read!

Roads of Destiny, Jan 11 2006
By Elayne Kayce - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Roads of Destiny (Hardcover)
Imagine if everyday you had one destiny and that no matter where you went or what you did you would end up in the same place. Which path would you travel? O Henry gracefully teaches that choices cannot change destiny. This suggests that everyone has an ultimate destiny that would come true, against all odds. I do not believe that this is possible, or realistic. Perhaps there is more that a person can do to change what can happen in the future? Is there a higher power involved somehow? Is it possible that there truly is a plan for our lives? The plot is rich capturing the reader's attention, because you never know what will happen to David as he travels down the next road. A definite must read for anyone.

a super cool review for this super cool book, Jan 11 2006

This story makes you think if the dreams you really want are really worth everything you have to lose. After reading this story the book became a book that I could recommend to anybody. The story is interesting because it takes three different stories and puts them into one. The choices the main character makes are poor choices. Because of these poor choices the story becomes predictable, but not to the point of where you want to stop reading it. However I didn't stop reading it and it is a fantastic book.
