The book, De facto Pathfinder, by CW3 Cesare Gianetti who is a retired United States Army veteran. The book is about the journey of Christopher Longo, a veteran who had served several years in the army and is now retired and feeling very unsatisfied with his new life as a civilian. He decides to start his life new at 48 years old. The book begins with Christopher quitting his long term job at the state-run veteran support group agency in Oklahoma after deliberating with his aunt. Christopher is divorced and has a daughter that he has grown distant from over the years. Eventually, he begins a new job counseling veterans in need in different cities for six months. This new job is a trial program, and if you want to find out if he will succeed on his mission, you must read the whole book.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and I thought the story was very interesting. I liked how well the author wrote the main character. I liked how the author took a bold step in writing Christopher’s dissatisfaction with his current place in life and the steps he took to try and make his life more enjoyable and satisfactory to him. I really liked how the author was able to show compassion for the challenges that veterans commonly experience. I also really liked how the author shared different struggles that parents face with their children and some ways that relationships can be rekindled and strengthened.

There was honestly nothing that I did not like about the book. I thought the book was very well written and I did not find any grammatical errors or typos within the book. This is a testament to the exceptional editing that was completed to the book prior to publication.

I would rate this book five out of five stars for the reasons I stated above. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more books by this author in the future.

I would recommend this book to anyone interested in stories based on veterans or the military.
