While I do think the man written about in this story, Randy, was amazing and interesting, I really didn't prefer the way the story was written. It read more like a novel than a memoir which I didn't prefer. I wished it was more upfront and less flowery because it would have been more convincing. I understand that it was probably a hard project for the author to write, given it was about his own brother, but the writing overall fell short for me. I also found myself waiting for Randy's descriptio...more

I was expecting more out of this book...it seems to be a story of why one young man is great in the eyes of his brother. And really, I'd like to hear the brother's story BUT in a little different form. If the story was just told out right then I could be impressed with what a remarkable young man this was. I don't like to be told every chapter about how great he was.

I thought this was a beautiful book, very inspirational.
Beautiful book and inspirational. A pretty remarkable young man who finds purpose in his short life, and inspires others to do the same. A good book to read to gain perspective!
I enjoyed the writing style. I read it at the swimming pool today, and it made me cry a little. Good thing I had sunglasses on.
I particularly liked the last half of the book--I found it very uplifting.

Account of the life and death (at a young age) of Randy McMillan, the first author's brother. Covers youth, LDS mission, and early adulthood. Very affecting and inspiring.
This book just helps me remember who I am and why I am here. I want to try harder after reading. Very good.
