Ratings and reviews

What exactly is the point of this free sample if all you get is the foreword and the contents page? I would have expected at least the first chapter to give me an idea of whether I might want to read this book or not. Too bad I will never know...!

Dear google play user never buy the sample paper for this only provides u with stupid cover page n index ,nothingh else.... WASTE OF TIME

A decent, but short, insight into Reachers formative teenage years. Definitely a single session read and at GBP1.49 for just 44 pages it's not good value, but it will appeal to fans looking for his back story
