review 1: A great little novelette that took the reader deep into a family's heartache as they watch a son and father die at the young age of 34. From page 1 to the end, the reader becomes a family member and aches for this family as they fall apart piece by piece.Written by the step-brother of the main character, I am not sure that I would completely put this in the genre of memoir, but I would say this dramatic novelette is worth picking up. It is emotional, but filled with truth - I definitely liked this short and simple read.
review 2: In a life filled with young children, I don't get as much time to read as I would like but this was one book I couldn't STOP reading. From the beginning, Allen draws you in and makes you care about a character who made himself diffic
... moreult to care about during his own life. Through his beautiful writing and vivid storytelling, the author manages to bring a real humanity to a man who had a hard time with his own humanity. Even though you know from the beginning what the outcome is going to be, you can't help but to wish that things could turn out differently. This book made me re-evaluate some of my own choices and appreciate my loved ones for being there through them. When a book can not only entertain you but make you feel AND think, it's something special. This author has accomplished just that. less
