Leels Loves Books Book Reviews

This was definitely an interesting read.

I had a little struggle getting into it immediately but I was engrossed by chapter 3.

This book follows Yanni and his small Greek island of home; growing up as a young man during difficult times. It is a journey that carries you through all sorts of emotions.

One wouldn’t think that following the story of one young man through his life would be interesting, but it really was.

I don’t think I have ever read a book that was similar to this, but it was definitely something I would read again and again.

Appointment with Yesterday was a great read with several ups and downs to keep the reader engaged.
