Official Review: A Peripatetic Life by Raymond Walley

[Chrys Brobbey]

I read the 'Forward' to the book, and the initial chapter in the Amazon preview. I was really absorbed in the story as he detailed his family history, with photographs thrown in.
Raymond was a jack of all trades, and I will say a master of all! I am amazed at the number of things he tried his hands at. And to quote from the review: "He is like a sponge that absorbs everything he can, and turns whatever knowledge he learns into something useful not only for himself but also for others." I'll like to find out the outcome of his prostrate cancer, but I believe he is a survivor! A very good review.

It seems like he lived a very fulfilling and interesting life and that we could all take a way something from his life. It also seems that this book may inspire us to live life to its fullest while planning our future. Thank you for the review.

I don't usually go for memoirs, but this one sounds unique and inspiring. I would love to read this one because it sounds like there are some interesting perspectives that may change our way of thinking. Great review!

Raymond sounds like a great person; this book seems really interesting.

Not my usual genre so I doubt I will read this one but it does sound touching and inspring. Also, great job on the review! I agree, if there's photos it would be better if they were in the corresponding chapter.

Biographies are generally not my genre unless they happen to be about someone who I find particularly interesting. Glad that you enjoyed it-thanks for the review.

Great review! The author certainly has led a varied, interesting life. You made a good point about wanting the photos to be scattered throughout the book instead of all being placed at the end. Glad you enjoyed the book!

This book sounds like it could serve as a reminder to all of us to not take life for granted, cherish every minute, and enjoy the world and its people to the fullest! Although life has its ups and downs, it's what we do with those experiences, or moments of joy and sorrow, that matters the most, whether it be to learn something new about ourselves, pass along one of life's lessons to another, or accept that what is happening is all part of what makes us who we are today. What a great choice for #BOTD!

Thank you so much for your review!

Thanks for the great review. It is just fitting for one who knows his end is near to recapitulate all of his experiences in this life. He really had a wonderful life. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

I do like memoirs! The writer seems very inspiring and I'm super curious about this. Thank you for the review!

This sounds awesome because the story relates a life of a great man who fought a lot to achieve his purposes in life. The book also brings hope to everyone that every good thing can be achieved no matter how the challenges and obstacles. The cover is OK for me. I appreciate it. Thanks for the wonderful review.

I noticed the author integrated the pictures into the actual book. I would completely agree that that is much better

Living life to the fullest, I believe, is something that many want to accomplish, and it seems like this author is doing just that! I applaud the author for living such an inspiring life! Congratulations to the author for writing such an inspiring book!
