Seeing Things in Black and White by Antoine K. Stroman

Book: Seeing Things in Black and White

Author: Antoine K. Stroman

Publisher: AuthorHouse

Pages: 99

My Rating: 5/5

Seeing Things in Black and White by the author Antoine K Stroman is a short read. The book has three parts and each part has many chapters. It is the journey of a young black man who was treated differently by the world because of his skin colour. 

The story begins in the mid 90’s and continues to the present. Reading about how a man was forced out of the neighborhood due to his skin colour is really painful. Our skin colour is given by God to us and nobody should judge anyone based on it. 

Below lines are really impactful: 

I grew up in a predominantly black
neighborhood, and didn’t
understand the power of being
black until I was placed in
an environment where black wasn’t
predominant. It was
then that I realized just how
beautiful black truly was…

It was really a great read and I recommend this to all my fellow readers. The title of the book is apt and the cover of the book is simple but decent.

About the Author:

As a writer, poet, songwriter, teacher and director, Seeing Things in Black and White is my most daring work. Written over the course of 9 years, I’ve drawn inspiration from various points in my life. Throughout this 9 year period, I became an educator, a writer for theatre, and a director, which all served as an influencing factor in the composition of this story. It is for this purpose that I believe that this work should be picked up.

Fluid by Ashish Jaiswal

Book: Fluid

Author: Ashish Jaiswal

Publisher: Wisdom Tree

Format: Paperback

My Rating: 5/5

Genre: Non-Fiction

Fluid by Ashish Jaiswal is a non-fiction book. I always love to read non-fiction as they help me to grow. 

Since beginning, our parents force us to top in class so that going forward we can take science after class 10th and this put us in a rat race to be an engineer, doctor, etc. This book tells us to be free like fluid and choose our own path of success. 

Author has given various examples of famous personalities from whom we can learn something as they were fluid in their approach. It is very important to be fluid so that we can follow our own path that we think is right for us. 

This is the book that is written well and gives us vast knowledge. It is written after well research. The cover of the book is simple and decent. I recommend this book to everyone who wish to see a change in themselves and who wish to grow and achieve something in life.

Book Review: Kurt Danger Retired Monster Hunter

Book: Kurt Danger Retired Monster Hunter

Author: Leroi Randin Reed

Publisher: Henceforth Publishing Co.

Format: Ebook

My Rating: 4.5/5

Pages: 148

I got introduced to the concept of Vampires, when I saw the TV series ‘The Vampire Diaries’ and then my interest in vampires magnified gradually. 

Kurt Danger is a fantasy action fiction by the author Leroi Randin Reed. The story features Kurt Danger who was once the greatest monster hunter but now he has grown old and is in pain for losing his wife 10 years ago due to Vexor. 

Kurt’s family was a victim of vampire attack. Kurt was adopted by a monster hunter Mr Danger. At a little age of 13, he learnt how to kill beasts like vampires, werewolves, gargoyles and ghouls.

As we read the story ahead, Kurt has to protect a little girl. He along with Baxter, Elizabeth and Scarab Knights go to save her. Will they be successful in rescuing her? 

The plot is intriguing and the characters are well developed. The author has written it well but with little improvement in writing, this book has the potential to stand out more. 
A story full of vampires, werewolves, courage, fantasy, action, etc is something you shouldn’t miss to read. I am definitely looking forward to read next book from the author.

Book Review: What’s Left Unsaid

Book: What’s Left Unsaid

Author: Deborah Stone

Publisher: Matador

Format: Ebook

My Rating: 4.5/5

Pages: 312

What’s Left Unsaid is the debut novel of the author Deborah Stone. It’s a family drama fiction. The main characters are Joe, Annie, Sasha and Zac. 

The book is narrated by three characters: Joe, Sasha and Annie. Zac is a teenager and son of Sasha and Jeremy. Sasha’s mother Annie has a drinking problem and her father Joe Stein was well known and a bone fied celebrity. 

Mother daughter relationship between Annie and Sasha is not so simple. It has the complexity of deep secrets and lies which makes the story interesting. 

Every family has some drama and the story of Stein’s family seemed so realistic to me and I could relate well to it. I always love to read about family dramas even though they make me emotional many times while reading. 

It was the first book by Deborah but the writing seems so polished and the story narration is amazing. I really liked this book. It was a long read but the plot was so gripping that I binge read it and finished it in two sittings. It’s a must read.
