A good read we should give the name to this book as it truly is a good read. The Mindset speaks of how a young man from a young age had to learn to change his mindset so that he could adapt and survive better in this world. We have been given a great book from the pen of Ace Bowers. His style of writing is attractive that it keeps the reader glued to the book page by page. This offering is so excellent that it made it hard for me to see that the book has ended in no time while I was still enjoying the book.

The book starts of from an early age as Ace learns that things are not as what they seemed as he started growing up. He had to learn a lot of traits so that he could be able to have peace and happiness at home. Growing up some of the things he saw from his home made no sense as he figured that life outside is nicer and better than what he was used to at home. Likely he grew up to be a better parent that he’s dad was and knowing the hardships he grew up under he made better choices at a later stage in his life.

I would recommend the book to all those who had a difficult upbringing. It would teach them that things may be bad at the beginning but then it does not mean that they would have to end like that. I would also recommend it to anyone who needs an inspiration on life. Seeing that his life ended up being better is a much-needed motivation to all young men and women out there who are having it hard. It is also a great recommendation to everyone as it has great knowledge for all generation considering the knowledge that is being passed through.

What I did not like most about the book is how a kid was exposed to such brutality at a young age. But then I also take courage as that did not make him give up on life and he made wiser decisions when he was all grown up. What I had like mostly about the book is the love he found during the storm. Or as he calls them “guardian angels”. This people came to his life at a low point on his life where no one would have likely associated with him. It was in that instance that he made better choices for the sake of the ones who have shown him love.

I would give the book a rating of 4 out of 4 stars. It is a well thought, well written and well edited book. My rating is that of above because the writer has shown us that he keeps attention to detail and almost everything he describes can imagined by the mind and it sets out an epic journey. The writer also has kept the chapters to a minimum page that makes it even easy to engage with even when the reader has little time to read the book. Much care was also taken into editing the book as no errors where in the book and that makes it a good read with no time to pause trying to figure out what word should it have been.
