Mr T Wears a White Hat by Dawn Sheppard is a non-fiction book that talks about the author's experience and revelations. This book is filled with a series of journals written by the author. In these journals, the author narrates her insights and revelations. The author also shared her most traumatic psychological storm during her childhood and how she was able to overcome it during her lifetime. In this book, Dawn Sheppard described her thoughts, the contents of her dream journal and her exponential increase in psychological wealth and wholeness.

This book was quite informative as it shared the author's traumatic psychological experience as a victim of sexual abuse and how she was able to gradually recover from the trauma while growing up. The author's psychological trauma opened my eyes to the fact that sexual abuse is indeed common in the world out there. I also got to understand that children are almost always the victims of sexual abuse.

However, there are a lot of things I did not like about this book. One such example is the author's style of narration of her dreams and revelations. I often felt lost and disconnected from the text while reading. The author made use of abstracts and often digressed from the subject matter. I found it very difficult to relate to this book. I had a hard time comprehending some of the dreams and revelations shared by the author. I also noticed that some of the texts were not properly arranged in this book. While reading this book, I also noticed that it contained lots of grammatical and typographical errors. These errors often distracted me as I had to read texts repeatedly to make sense of them. I would suggest that this book be thoroughly edited to prevent its readers from being distracted by such typographical and grammatical errors.

I would rate this book 2 out of 4 stars. This is because the author's style of narration is ambiguous and difficult to relate to. I had a difficult time comprehending some of the revelations and often felt lost while reading this book. I also observed several typographical and grammatical errors in this book. These errors often distracted me and made reading the book laborious and frustrating.

I would recommend this book to people that have, at one point in their lives, been victims of sexual abuse and also to people that have friends or relatives that have been victims of sexual abuse. However, because of the author's style of writing, I would recommend this book to people with mature minds.

This book informs and teaches a lot about life lessons. Even though the review states some errors, the message and the theme was clear. Honestly and good review.

Oh. I don't like feeling lost when I'm reading something. Though if it's intriguing, yes, but lost no. Thanks for giving an honest review on this. I know what to look for now.

Memoirs are not really for me but the style of a journal intrigues me. I would check this out. Great review.

Nice review. It's sad that the author had to experience such trauma. But on the brighter side, I like that she was strong enough to survive and move past it.

Victims of sexual abuse would gain a lot from this book I presume, after reading your review. However, i cannot read this book because of the ambiguous writing style of the author. Thank you for the insightful review.
