It took me awhile to get out of Shack mode to even want to pick up another book. I just couldn't get the lame reasoning out of my head that no book could get better than that; same feeling I had after I finished the Harry Potter series. It just felt like no book was worth my time. After a trip to a new bookstore, my reasoning was forced aside as I found some books that caught my attention. Book eight is a simple story that would touch anyone's heart. It was a quick read, even though it wasn't impossible to put down. Together, written by Tom Sullivan with Betty White, is a cute story about a strapping young man who loves anything athletic. After a horrible fall while mountain climbing, he becomes permanently blind. Well, you can just imagine the turmoil it causes the handsome guy, and he is on the brink of suicide. After a lot of convincing and pushing from loved ones, he goes on a trip to get a seeing eye dog. The furry companion changes his life forever. This is a good book if you are looking for a light read; nothing to heavy hearted, or makes you want to shoot yourself to stop the suspense of what is going to happen next. It is a nice story to engage other senses than just sight. The best thing about the book, is the cover. It was love at first sight for me, with the beautiful black lab.
