This was a riveting book. It takes a lot of courage for someone to sit down and share his experiences like Mr. Sawyer has. I really enjoyed how he puts the rules of chess into his daily beliefs and how it helped manage his depression. I very strongly recommend this to anyone and everyone that is suffering any form of depression. If you know someone, this would make a great pick-me-up gift to help inspire and overcome depression. It helped me and I am sure it can help millions others. This is a purchase that is well worth the money.

This book is both profound and touching! The Author is a humble human being; yet his voice is strong and incredibly POWERFUL! I have never cried so much while reading a book. Page 12 hit me like a hurricane! So much so, that I had to put the book down to compose myself. Tim Sawyer, your words are deep! "A Patzer's Story" not only deserves recognition-- you deserve praise! My life was touched by suicide (Dec 1996) when my dear sister-in-law succumbed to the darkness. I cannot describe the pain and heartache that came from losing someone in such a horrible way. So, yes...this book hit home! I applaud Tim Sawyer for sharing his story and personal struggles with depression. His compassion for humanity is a constant throughout this book. Surely worth a 5 star rating!

Wow! What a page turner. I could not put it down and read in just one day. The characters were compelling, and the plot intriguing. Mr. Sawyer has an eye for detail that is uncanny. I would be strongly surprised if this didn't become a best seller. All of the characters; Frank, Renee, Jesse and Maggie and even the bad guy, Nikitin were all interesting and leaves the ending open for a sequel. Even the dogs had character. The story line was riveting and based on a police crime involving meth labs, murder, attempted murder and bad cops. Mr. Sawyer even throws in comedy and romance. I laughed, cried at the end (which I did not expect) and could not wait to see what happens on the next page. This is definitely a five star book and I hope so see more of Mr. Sawyer's mysteries in the future.
