My thoughts ~

The first in a new series, The English Son starts out with the story of an egotistical young ex-Amish man who acts selfishly with no regard for consequences. He takes advantage of family, friends and even his girlfriend. Joel Byler has left his Amish roots behind to become English. He only returns to his father when he wants something. 

This young man made me so angry! I immediately took a disliking to him, and that opinion of him lasted throughout this segment of the series.  His actions and attitude make him a very unlikable character.

This segment moved swiftly and evoked many emotions as the story evolved through selfish acts, family disappointment, and the confusion Joel's girlfriend experienced. I read through this short book in just a couple of hours, and wanted more "now!" It's a cliffhanger, but an exciting one. I'm looking forward to the next installment of The Amish Millionaire!
