I have read many of Bill Yno books, and must admit, "Out of the Forest" was my first and favorite!!! To me, a Great Author, is one that can put his readers into a trance and transport them as characters in his book. "Anna's Violin," definitely completes this transformation where the reader is taken back and becomes part of every chapter. I was totally absorbed with each character and felt their sadness and accomplishments, as if I were there. Regardless if this book becomes a best seller or not, in my mind, it already is!!!

My cousin Bill Yno has an excellent book in Out Of the Forest. It's been a little over a year ago that I last saw him at Point Pleasant. I just spoke with him over the phone today, and am very happy that a movie is going to be made from the book. I am looking forward to see it.

Bill(y-no)and i have been together a lot of years and have been through alot together.One of the best things is the writing of his great books. Bill has the knack of making people feel as though you are in the book along with all the characters in the story. you are transported back to Annas time in his book"From out of the Forest". I have read a lot of books and I will truthfully say his novels are the most spellbinding and attention getting and holding, that I have ever read. Therefore ,I predict this movie"Annas Violin", will be a smash hit! Hey Nicole-Go Girl!!! Wilma Baldwin

It has been a few years since I have seen Bill, but the last time I was up there all we could talk about is the Stories that he still has to tell and the extra details that are not in the books. "From Out of The Forest" was the first one I read. I am not a big reader, but once I got into the book I couldn't stop. I hope to continue to see more Amazing books from him!

I enjoy reading all my Dads books. He has Inspired me not only as a young child, when he came into my life, but he still Inspires me as an Adult. We use to sit and listen to all his stories as a young child as we do now. I will tell my grandchildren about this remarkable man, as I know someday they will want to know and hear all about his books and his life. He, will with Dancing Elk at his side, go down in History.

I have read all of Bill's books and From out of the forest is by far the best of them all. I also enjoyed Smoke in the Valley.Any coal miner would enjoy this book,especially any United Mine Worker of America member.

read the story many times Bill is a special friend of mine we have spent many hours talking about live and the olden times.I rate Bill with many good writters like louis la whats his name.. that zane guy but then I live in the area where these things happen and have lived the life as so have my sons. To Bill and Wilma see you in the spring at our favorite free lunch job...The Large Elf.....

This book grabs and holds until the last page! I was taken by surprise many times reading and just could not put the book down, not knowing what would happen next. A true life adventure that doesn't seem true...hardships, loss, unexpected events that change lives. Bill has told me he writes stories he was told as a child. His books truly captivate the reader and we live the story. I pictured Nicole Kidman as Anna throughout the book. This will be a terrific movie!

I love reading my fathers books. He always told me storys as a child, and I have even gotten to experience hearing Annas screams. He has many more storys to tell and I look forward to seeing more of his works published

I have read the book From Out of the Forest, along with all of the others books that Bill has written I enjoy them very much. But in the book " From Out of the Forest" there was alot of the time I just didn't want to put the book down. Bill has been a dear friend of mine ever since we meet at one of the Pow-Wow years ago. I hope to see his movie real soon, or maybe even be apart of it. Bill already had his screen play parts for the movie From Out of The Forest,that I was apart of.

I read From Out of The Forest some time ago and thought it would make a very good movie. The story line makes you feel a part of the experance the people from that time had to indure.On the big screen it would have to make others feel the same way.A big hit in my book

I very much enjoyed reading From out of the Forest. It was my third book by William Yno. I look forward to reading many more. And can't wait to see the movie.
