Timmy's Review of His Grandfather’s Watch by N.R. Walker

I have a dear friend who I love and respect. A few months ago, she told me her husband’s mom had Alzheimer's Disease. I didn’t know what that was or what it meant, so I did what I do best and researched it. In my research the thing that stood out to me most was that it was a disease that not only affects the patient, but the family as well. It can destroy families and people who are not the patient. 

The first part of this story I grew to really respect Callum. He went to see his grandma everyday, even when it broke his heart to do so. Alex was just what Callum needed in his life. He was strong and supportive. 

The second part of the story was a story of its own. I bawled my eyes out in those few short pages. I will not give away spoilers. I will only tell you this is a must read! It’s also a free read and short so it won’t take much of your time.

As with all short stories I was disappointed that it was so short, and I didn’t get a chance to fully get to know the main characters, but I would definitely recommend it to others. ~Timmy

  1. Dearest Timmy,
    I love you and your way of entering fully into things, researching, checking, making your own, informed opinion about things. And I love how you share your thoughts. Thank you for these words on Alzheimer's Disease, it kills us all, slowly. I love and respect you too, my dear friend. :-)

    This story you reviewed, isn't it just fabulous? I read it already when it was fanfic (as you so correctly state in your information above, kudos!), and still today when I read it (again and again) I prefer the version with Edward and Jasper. Because, well, you know, Jasper. :-)

    N.R. Walker is one of my favorite authors, one with a true voice and beautiful language. So glad you enjoyed this story! Your review is very good, both thoughtful and well rounded, and all that without spoilers. This is not easy to do, when it is about such a short story, so KUDOS for that, too!

    Well done!

    1. I try to never give away spoilers, though some have read these books already, there are many who have not. I don't like to read spoilers. It's hard to keep the balance between what like or don't like, but not giving to much detail. Thanks for reading the review and leaving a comment. I love hearing from you guys.

    1. That's my hope Aniko. I really hope my reviews help people find books they haven't read before. I also love when people that have read the books read my reviews, so they will get an idea of the books I like. That way when you come up to one I reviewed that you haven't read, you would know if we have similar taste in books.

    2. Ahahaha! XD I know that feeling. I've gone to blogs before and try to post and they don't. One time I tried for several minutes, multiple times, got frustrated, and gave up. Then went back later to try again- and saw post multiple times. I was so embarrassed! *hides face* ��
