  "Take a Closer Look at "See Me"" by nbaker (see profile) 12/23/15

Meet Colin Hancock. He's rough, he's troubled and he's as brutally honest as he is brutal inside a fight cage. Having dealt with anger issues his entire life, Colin is working toward a path that will lead him to redemption and a purpose. Channeling his temper hasn't been easy and he knows the parole officer meant business when he said "one more incident and it will mean a long time behind bars". Life is tough when your worst enemy is yourself.

Meet Maria Sanchez. She is beautiful, a law school graduate and had her heart broken by a man she thought was the one. She submerses herself in her work, setting goals for where she wants to see herself in the future. Remaining close to her immigrant Hispanic parents and her slightly younger sister, she reserves little time to build a life for herself outside the office. Life is tough when you can't let yourself trust others.

There is a stalker. He is on a mission. He has no name. He has no face. But he's out there -- and he doesn't care who gets in his way. His only goal is to exact revenge.

That is a quick synopsis of the story "See Me". For me this story had a much different feel from the normal Nicholas Spark stories -- a bit more drama, a bit more mystery. I would say that it was easy to figure out, but I ran a complete circle while reading it pointing blame to nearly everyone. What I really loved about the story, however, was Colin. The honesty of his character was remarkable and so refreshing. I loved that he didn't try to mask his past but accepted it like a person accepts the color of eyes. He pulled no punches (except in the ring), he laid himself out for all to see with a "like me or don't like me" attitude that never waivered. He was resigned to the fact that you can't change the past and yet determined to change his future. The story was filled with a menagerie of characters with both open and closed minds, who withheld judgment on someone until they really knew them to those who were so closed minded that seeing a bruised or mangled face could spell nothing but disaster and fear to them. I found the story both enlightening, inspiring and more than "okay". (Read the story and you will understand.)

Read the book for book club... had read it six months earlier than our book club meeting, so re-read it week of meeting... it was just as thrilling and a good read the second time as it was the first! A real page turner you will enjoy!
