The only comfort he gets is from his fantasy world of Cowboys and Indians.

Powerfully written and intensely moving, The Brave traces the legacy of violence behind the myth of the American West and explores our quest for love and identity, the fallibility of heroes and the devastating effects of family secrets.

I've enjoyed Nicholas Evans as a writer since The Horse Whisperer, mostly because he is unafraid to make human emotions the substantive thread of his books, but he writes as a thriller-writer or crime-writer might. Hard for any writer to deliver a twist and this one didn't. Overall, a satisfying and easy read. However, I was very disappointed with this book. Others may not feel the same way about the setting as I, so I am partly reluctant to give it as little as three stars. Only when his estranged son, a US Marine, is charged with murder do the events resurface, forcing him to confront his demons. He lives in Devon with his wife, singer/songwriter Charlotte Gordon Cumming. Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 3, 2013. I was so anticipating the emotional depth of The Horse Whisperer or Smokejumper, and it just isn't there.

I'm a sucker for behind-the-scenes celebrity info and it was, indeed, interesting to see the real person behind the movie star persona. Something went wrong. I don't think the book would have worked so well if he hadn't use such format. His first book, the #1 New York Times bestseller The Horse Whisperer was made into a movie directed by Robert Redford. In all fairness, it's not a bad story. the story had some high points and you may enjoy it. In "The Loop" he talked about the mineral rights beneath ranch lands and in "The Brave," he describes a minuteman missel silo, which people often don't realize are in Montana. Tom unable to tell anyone about his mother and ending up estranged from his family. At Oxford University, he studied the subject of law and graduated with first class honors, after that, he worked for three years at the Evening Chronicle in Newcastle-upon-Tyne. In the real world, finding emotional breakthrough is an adventure, a mystery and a challenge, and does vex as as surely as a Morse or Poirot whodunnit - but few writers succeed in crafting an emotional journey as a page-turner. Distanced from his own troubled past, he rarely sees his son, Danny, who is now deployed in Iraq. I would imagine if there was as sequel written, he would have not stayed with Eve (the enabler) either.

I haven't seen a new one since The Brave.

The motto of the boarding school to which Tommy Bedford is dispatched is 'Fortune Favours the Brave'. The Brave is a masterful story that speculates on how the roles of father, brother, and son can all converge in one person, and what makes a boy into a man. Cold, distant, and old, they selfishly banish Tom to Dickensian boarding schools. Need another excuse to treat yourself to a new book this week? Soon, however, the sinister side of Tinseltown casts its shadow and a shocking act of violence changes their lives forever. =). It's been a long time since I've read a Nicholas Evans book and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. His parents are old and remote and the boarding school they’ve sent him to bristles with bullies and sadistic staff. Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2019. Nicholas Evans studied law at Oxford University after serving in Africa with Voluntary Service Overseas. The switching of time periods throughout the story was a little hard to decipher at the beginning, after a while, it had a very good flow. The story begins with the execution death of Tommy's mother, when he is only 13.

I won't disclose the plot, but I actually did not like the ending of The Brave. Interesting as this method may be, it results in there being no clear feeling of the story going in a particular direction. Reflecting on his life once he becomes a divorced father with a failed relationship with his only son, a marine serving in Iraq who is accused of heinous war crimes, Tom must reconcile his past.

There's lot of twists and turns that really pulls at your heartstrings real tight and makes you cry.

I did not enjoy this book. We care about Tommy, and we care about Tom, and we continue to read to find out how one develops and why the other has become who he is. You may be charged a restocking fee up to 50% of item's price for used or damaged returns and up to 100% for materially different item. If I were to give this book a color, it would be pale beige. His first book, the #1 New York Times bestseller The Horse Whisperer was made into a movie directed by Robert Redford. His parents are old and remote and the boarding school they've sent him to bristles with bullies and sadistic staff. I wanted to know what happened but it was too slow to want to bother.

While I enjoyed the Brave, it failed to engage me like the Horse Whisperer did. 20 John Street
