Loved this book. It is story about survival, love and how together we are stronger. A lot of depth. It might be time for a reread.

This book has some flaws but overall it is decent. I didn't like that we are told right away that Avery and Colin get rescued from the plane crash. It took away from the suspense and urgency when the author was talking about them being stranded. Some of the flashbacks got confusing too.

Look who‘s done with her (first?) #AuldLangSpine novel! @Karisa recommended #DearEdward to me. I really liked the writing and the author captured the young boy really well. I wish the Plotline with the letters started early, since the story dragged a bit in the middle.
Rating: 3,75⭐️
Looking forward to the Apple TV 📺 adaption.

Karisa Glad you liked it and I agree about the letters. I was disappointed in the adaptation. They made some interesting choices. I‘m eager to see what you think of that one though if you watch it! 1y
thewallflower0707 @Karisa almost done with episode 5 and I‘m really enjoying it! I love that they changed the passengers storylines and that we are getting so much focus on them, it‘s a lot more interesting than their book parts 🫣. 1y
thewallflower0707 @Karisa I also think that Edwards and Shay‘s friendship is much more believable. 1y
thewallflower0707 @Karisa I‘m done with the show and they really dropped the ball in the 2nd half 😳 1y
Karisa @thewallflower0707 Yeah, the show kind of just falls apart. Such a bummer! 1y

My book club is meeting at the end of the week to discuss Napolitano‘s latest book, but this one came highly recommended as well, so I thought I‘d better prepare and listen to it as well! First of all, I am definitely thankful that I didn‘t listen while we were traveling last week! This story of a plane crash and its aftermath for the sole survivor is certainly a sad one. I just wanted a bit more of that hope and a bit less on the actual plane…

The ending was a bit pat and sweet following an intense, gut-wrenching novel but I would still recommend.

After a mediocre September, October came and went in a blaze. Several books could have been contenders for my FICTION bracket, but in the end my heart went with the tagged book —which also squeaked past to the quarterfinals in a very heated battle with my July pick. I adore Dennis Lehane, but in the end I leaned slightly towards “Dear Edward.” I think. Ask me again tomorrow. Or better yet —just read both books. 🙂

This book is in two parts; the first tells the story of the 1972 Andean plane crash, which the author survived and then trekked across the mountains for help.

The second part is about how the doctor used his experience, alongside pioneering discoveries, to treat unborn and very young babies with heart conditions.

I‘m using this for #Uruguay for #readingtheamericas23, as that is where the doctor is from; it would work for #Argentina too.

Librarybelle I bet this was a tough read! 1y
squirrelbrain It was tough but in a different way to what I expected @Librarybelle. Parts of the story were told by Canessa‘s parents and girlfriend, with the second half including testimonies from the parents of the children he treated, so all quite emotional. 1y
