Love it could not put it down
Couldn’t put the book down. I resisted reading the end of the book where the author verified the true parts of the book. Do the same, you’ll be happy you waited.
Excellent. I’ll even re-read. Based on a true story!
Dan Walsh is one of my favorite authors and did not disappoint! A wonderful story based on a real shipwreck that I could not put down.
I could’nt put it down because I wanted to find out what would happen to the characters . Looking forward to reading more from this author.
Truth really is stranger than fiction. Though this book is fiction, it is based on a real story, which he documents at the end of the book. It is an amazing story about a shipwreck which separates a couple on their honeymoon. I have read several other books by Dan Walsh and enjoyed them all.
This was an enchanting story. The characters were believable, and the message of salvation and encouragement were interwoven into the story subtly and profoundly.
I am looking forward to reading more of Dan’s writings.
Thank you so much.
They say don’t judge a book by its cover. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of this story as I did not expect much from the cover. A few good surprises in the story and I saved it under “very good” in my private library.
The characters and story line intrigued me and drew me into the story. i thoroughly enjoy this book and will recommend it to all.
Every now and then it feels like a book finds you, rather then you finding the book. From the very first chapter, my imagination was captivated by the plot, the story line, and the characters. Page after page, I was excited to see what would happen next, but also sad as it meant I was that much closer to the end. Even now, I am having a hard time getting into the next book on my reading list, simply because The Deepest Waters is a tough act to follow. If you are looking for more then just something to read and pass the time, I highly recommend this unforgettable book.
Couldn,t put this one down. Very enjoyable.
Loved the book, it was easy to see this as a real story and not fiction that it is.
Beautiful story, the author writes great stories.
What a great book based on actual happenings. I really enjoyed reading this and have recommended it to family and friends.
The best stories are based in truth and this is one of those. I thought I knew where it was headed but I was surprised. A beautiful storyline and characters you’ll love.
I enjoyed this page turner very much. I stayed up past 12:00pm to finish because I could not put it down.
This is a very good book. Based on true events. Can’t really tell the fictional parts. The story has a wonderful turn of events that help rebuild ones faith in mankind. Having an understanding of the period helps to understand the lives of the characters. Look for more of this type from Dan.
Very well written.
I loved this story! I love the character growth, how they step out in faith- love and serve others in spite of their own pain- I love every bit of this story and I highly recommend it!
I could not put this book down! I was actually in the middle of another book when I was out somewhere without it and I started this one. I finished this one before I went back to the first one I was reading! It was sweet and exciting and I just HAD to see how it all turned out. I liked it!
