REVIEW OF A BOY WITHOUT FEAR, A MAN THAT FOUND TROUBLE BY SEAN DENNIS LANE
If I am being completely fair, before joining Goodreads, I would have never even read any poetry books or something that was related to poesy and verse. I used to feel like this genre won't be for me. I was more of a novel-reader.
Then one day, I came across the "A Boy's Question, A Man’s Answer" and I am not kidding you, it got me hooked to the poetry.
I would have never ever picked a poem book otherwise, and so I am thankful to Sean Dennis Lane for introducing me to such a beautiful new world.
My review:
When the author informed me that he was planning on publishing a series, I was literally waiting daily to see when his next book was going to come out.
Finally, on Saturday, I got my wish granted when 'A Boy without fear, A Man that found trouble' was released. I devoured this book within just a few hours. What I find so unique in Sean Dennis Lane's books is that there are some very valuable life lessons that the author puts forth with subtlety. Same is the case here. The dilemma of chosing between what is right and what is wrong is something that each and every one of us have struggled to deal with. What maybe wrong for one might be right for someone else. It all leads up to the end, when, even those who have lead their life avoiding all kinds of trouble, still have regrets.
My favorite verse:
“What we believe as children or understand as children shouldn’t make us as men. Life should be a place where all men find peace and hope. The World is here for us now, then it’s not, as we grow older it becomes the next generations World, why fight for what isn't really ours, it’s pointless.”
My rating:
I won't be going in much detail so as to not spoil anything, but would just say that you shouldn't miss out on the book. It is a great read and you sure won't be disappointed. I give this book a perfect 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
About the Author:
Sean Dennis Lane
Was born in the Midwest, into a multi cultural home. I have confusions about the early years of my life in the way that I have confusions about my life now. We pick up our troubles and proceed forward at whatever the comfortable pace of the day is. I've known many places and people in my life. I wasn't always in the right place in my thinking, I was a little bit off. The early years had me branded as brownie in a not so nice fashion as I was told by a kid who became my friend. Teachers even a police officer called me brownie, in what may not have been a friendly way. Maybe someone wanted my family to move or something. That was Wisconsin, Indiana was different. Indiana culture shifts much quicker than Wisconsin's little melting pot. Early on I felt the other angle of the trouble, now I was a white boy to some. I can understand how loved one's would kid a kid and give him a hard time to get him with the program. It wasn't always love though, I am a multi cultural kid and can get offended real quick. That means everybody can get me in a bad state of thinking, not good for a kid or a man. Started drinking young, ten or eleven, liked the taste of cigarettes to. Was an alcoholic most of my life, I liked to drink alone for much of that time, though I remember a few laughs shared with people I care for even though I no longer see. I live a quite life without any contact with anyone from my past, other than a call or text. Sober now, living with health issue's and some harder to explain life trouble's. We get what we put into it is what some say, I say, we will meet the next day until the day's run out. I have a belief in a greater unrevealed truth to our lives here. My truth doesn't save a man from more than he can handle, it allows it.
