The Ghostwalker File

by Kevin Robinson

Fiction: A contemporary novel about a baby boy abandoned near the Miccosukee Reservation in the Florida Everglades west of Miami. The surrounding community of Native American neighbors adopt and raise the young "John Doe" as their own, and when they realize that John has the ability to come and go with such stealth that his communal family members seldom notice, he is given the surname "Ghostwalker." John Ghostwalker is a kind-hearted and precocious young man, a superior student, and a socially peculiar human being. He has an almost obsessive need for a secret sanctuary where he can find respite from a world he sometimes finds quite overwhelming as he follows his dream to become an accomplished architect. The Ghostwalker File is, first and foremost, a book about self-discovery and the importance of community, but it is also a love story that may restore your belief in soul-mates.

[Stephanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a book that makes you think, long after you've finished it. It's a heart-warming story, and it gave me a new perspective on homelessness. The main character is written with such detail and feeling that I felt I really knew him. The narration of this book was okay. The pacing was a bit slow, but thankfully audible lets me speed things up. The emotion was sometimes lacking slightly. However, overall this was a really good use of my time and I would recommend this book.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I requested this free review version of this audiobook in exchange for this honest and unbiased review.
This is a great story to listen to as it elicits a lot of good feelings. I enjoyed the characters, particularly the main character, and I found his story arc entertaining and thought-provoking.
The narrator was perfect. Ghostwalker did not speak a lot so when he did, the narration made you take notice.
