I really don't understand all the good critics on Goodreads about that books! The story is just so unrealistic, an old man go on a trip (kidnap) a teenage boy and everybody find it cute because they watch bird together??? And more to it, the characters are flat, no emotions pass through them. Last point, the Alzheimer is really accessory there and is, like the rest, not realistic at all, if you want a good book about the disease read Still Alice, doesn't get better and well done than that one. For this book, just don't waste your time.

Bottom line, if found out this year was really a bad year for public critics sites (Goodreads, Rotten tomatoes, IMDB, and many others). People are so hip or down about something that we get extreme opinion that just are not true and doesn't mean anything. As for Goodreads in particular, I have read a couple of books, that when you read the review, you just have to ask yourself if people are paid to make good review as a marketing action, ore if it's the friend or family of the author that try to create a hip too it. I even read a book where the author review her whom book and gave it five stars. Confidence is good but still... Or review of book with more then 1 000 ratings for a book that is not even finish writing by the author. This is a really sad thing because that give away the credibility of those sites and you just can't really look at the rating to choose a new book and if it worth it or not. It's just my opinion but I feel like sharing it to you in the last days of 2017.

Finally I wish a Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all those who follow my review. Take care, take time for friend and family are remember the true thing that matter the most in you life and take time for them in 2018!!
