You can feel a sense of comradery to Dan even before opening the first page yourself. Thanks for a great review, this book has gone on my "To Read" shelf for sure.
Thank you, matildajay! I try my best to write reviews as honest as I can. It's a really beautiful book. Happy reading! :techie-studyinggray:

The Beauty of the fall begins Dan is trying to make sense of it all. We witness the self-destruction Dan goes through. He is a character that I did always root for, as ultimately Rich Marcello writes him as a fully fleshed out person. I liked the terms mental health, self-harm, and therapy aren’t buzz words in the book.
I liked that Dan is surrounded by women characters. Willow is a superb character and the element of poetry, tucked up with the poetic narrative, a challenge to the current market trend in terms of writing.

Great review! It is clearly seen the reviewer loves the book, loves the personages. First of all he/she really appreciates the lessons which were taught to audience and the main lesson is " Never lose a hope whenever the situation might be".A well done job! Thank you!

Calling this book intellectual is spot on. It was a very thought provoking read. I feel like you represented this book really well. The interpersonal turmoil of Dan I found riveting. I like what you said about the characters, they did offer a variety of views that were a good balance for Dan.

This sounds like a great book! I'm glad you included that it is a book that changes the way you see life because books like that are hard to come by. This is definitely something I would consider reading. Thanks for the review!

It's such an inspiring book especially for those who have gone through series of problems and have lost hope of survival. Encouraging, great thanks to the author "Rich Marcello".

Nice review! It doesn't sound like it's one of my normal go-to genres, but it does sound interesting. It's always nice to read a well written book that doesn't contain any sort of errors.

Great review. This book is very inspiring because of the character of Dan who surpassed all his miserable experience in his past and became a successful businessman.
