- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Life is a journey with a path we must choose. The Locket reveals the joy and sorrow of each of its young and wisened owners.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love Mr. Evans’ books, but this one didn’t speak to me like the others I’ve read. It felt a little too forced. The protagonist seemed a little too good, and the love story didn’t feel quite complete. I put it down a bit disappointed. That’s a first for one of his books for me. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll read more! I love his writing and trust him to pull me in and keep me captivated. This one just wasn’t as awesome as others he’s done.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Locket by Richard Paul EvansHave read other works by the author and have enjoyed them.This one starts out with Ester and she's just come to the mining town, and chapters advance to 1989 where she lives in a nursing home.Story also follows the boy, Michael who takes a job at a nursing home after losing his mother.He has a girlfriend Faye who's attending college and she cooks for him often. Her father talks to him and he needs to break away from her or she'll never get any money or endorsements from him for her education.Story also follows Ester and her life at the mining camp where she cooks and raising her mental child. Interesting about the locket and the connections through the years...Circumstances arise and he's up on charges of a man's death in the nursing home. He knows he's being framed...Powerful touching stories. I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Beautiful story. Very well written. Easy read.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Fiction lite. Nothing about it grabbed my interest, and I put it down without finishing it. I like my books with a little more "bite" to them.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A sweet love story that made me cry and smile. If you like sappy love stories--this is for you.
