The Best in Me is a simple book that maybe a few open minded ppl could relate to. Mostly of what the author himself has experienced or encountered. There's going to be abstract writings that will throw ppl off bcuz of the lack of understanding as to WHAT the author was thinking, and there's going to be inspirational writings that many will agree. Personally anyone who takes the time to read this book will be able to get something out of it just like any other book that sits on a book shelf. This book alone has meaning and regardless as to how many may like it or dislike it, it will always touch someone differently than others.
