"I really enjoyed reading this book, and it definitely inspired me to live a better story. At times the book is a bit self indulgent, and I had the feeling certain scenes were added/elaborated on.. just so a better movie could be made in the end. Yet there are a lot of great quotes, and much can be taken away from this book."
"A few years ago, Don Miller was a promising young writer with a unique voice and some things to say. And then he had to go and become a conference speaker.
I don't blame him; there's a lot of money in speaking at conferences, and not that much in writing a book every 3 years, even if you have one on the New York Times bestseller list. Writers make pretty good conference speakers, but conference speaking ruins pretty good writers.
Conference speakers have to tell a joke, or say something cute, or do a little dance every five minutes to keep the attention of their audience, who has just travelled 400 miles and doesn't know yet where their hotel room is or if there's going to be a vegetarian option for dinner. But a writer who tells a joke or says something cute every second paragraph gets old fast. And Miller has that problem - in spakes in "A Million Miles."
It's not that the jokes aren't funny, or cute, or whatever, it's that you want a more consistent voice, more finely crafted prose, out of a writer."
"Don's words go down easy, like a yummy treat. His thoughts are fast paced and can be random, but instead of feeling lost, I felt like I was running fast alongside him, understanding everything and wanting more at the same time. Maybe he gets me...or I get him. Definitely thought provoking."
"First off, I love Donald Miller's writing. In my opinion, this is his best book so far. I had a hard time pacing myself while reading so I could enjoy it a little longer. Very inspiring to live out a better story, a story worth reading."
