5,0 su 5 stelle Felt like I was living it (SPOILERS)
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 15 aprile 2012

When I was reading this, I didn't remember that it was loosely based on actual facts. But it felt real. I wasn't sure when I was reading whether it was supposed to be funny. I felt a little uncomfortable when I would be cracking up at the author's descriptions or a turn of phrase, because it really does read like a serious book. But then something would just sneak in, and I was rolling. It's by no means a comic/humor book. It's pretty serious (especially in the beginning), but there are some hilarious spots. But then, there are also some very sad parts, and a couple that made me literally gasp.

I truly loved to read this book. It is one of those that will stick in your head and heart. Great book!

SPOILERS FOLLOW!!!!

I did not like Maria. Sure, she was a good character, and I really liked that she treated Francis like he was human, and had fun with him and tried to make his life better. What I didn't like is that she refused to have any sort of relationship with him just because he was a quadriplegic, and would rather be with a man that beats her. I did not like that the ended up together at the end, although I did like the comeuppance of her husband. I guess Maria grew some as well as Francis and came to realize what is really important in life, however, I would have liked it better if she had realized that before he came to her a healed man. But other than making the ending a little "blah" to me, it didn't bother me too much.

5,0 su 5 stelle Laugh out Loud Funny.

What a great read. On the face of it, when you read that this book is about a teenager who suddenly becomes quadriplegic, you would expect the storyline to be tragic, a bit dark, maybe depressiong but this book it the opposite. In parts it's laugh out loud funny as well assensitive and insightful. The tale unfolds at a steady pace and whislt the ending is unsurprising it is full of hope and inspiration.
I would thoroughly recommend ths book.

I had a hard time with this review. Was the book well-written? Yes. Was the main character engaging? Yes and aggravating, angst-y, funny, bitter and flip. Were there plot holes you could drive a train through? Yes. So, I was torn between three and four stars. I don't like `convenient' plot devices to propel the story along. Sometimes, the novel seemed rushed, as if the author said, "Hmmm....now I need someone to run errands for this guy." BOOM! Character/s created. "Now I need someone who is willing to do bizarre science experiments." BOOM! Character created. "Now I need a bad, mean, shallow, rival for the love interest. Someone everyone will hate." Boom! A caricature `bad guy.' Then it seemed the author said, "Now I need to dispose of the bad guy in a way that could only scream `karma'. BOOM! The obvious and clumsy answer. However, despite the somewhat lazy storyboarding, I continued to read. After I finished, I asked myself if I were entertained despite the predictable and totally implausible outcome. Lo and Behold! I realized I was entertained. So, if writers are supposed to entertain readers, then Write Forbucks did his job. I suppose The Walking Man is not ideal storytelling. Perhaps it didn't need to be. Reading this novel is like eating a big bowl of candy. You know it's not really what you should be doing, but it's in front of you and so good in its badness. So, I have decided four stars for complete entertainment and a very good, well-drawn out main character. (The others were cliché with no depth.) Would I recommend The Walking Man? Sure. Read it with a big bowl of M&Ms.

I will start with saying I am not big on paying for books. Libraries played a big role in my life as growing up and into my adulthood as well. Times have changed though and libraries aren't what they used to be. Neither are media resources. So every now and then I will pay for a book, but I will always look to other resources first. The Walking Man is a good story and will hold your interest, but I didn't pay money for it and you shouldn't either.

Some of the reviews indicate that it's depressing and sad. Not at all. Bad things happen to each and everyone of us, some worse than others. You either learn to adapt and overcome or you wallow in it. That's the message that I took from this story.

Although the book is said to be based on a true story, I did find it to be a bit hokey and unreal at times? Diet Coke as a cure? I raise my can to the cure as I type. Not saying that it couldn't be, but I would have loved to have known more on this -- not just a brief blurb and then moving on to a rehabilitation span of about 15 pages. The true story part did intrigue me enough that I Googled it to see what I could find and although I couldn't find anything to disprove, I couldn't find much to prove either. But no matter. I read it, I enjoyed it, and you will too. Give it a read.

5,0 su 5 stelle I loved this book
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 20 febbraio 2014

The Walking Man is an excellent example of how brilliant indie books can be. Wright Forbucks has created characters who you can at times dislike and at other times sympathise with and even admire. On occasion I found myself laughing out loud and then thinking, 'I shouldn't really be laughing at this,' because the humour can be a bit dark, but the way it's handled means that it never really crosses the line into feeling uncomfortable. Highly recommended.
