- Latest Review: Moonlit Nights by Jacob Parr
From his family to his schoolmates, Raymond was subjected to a good many negative experiences. The man in this book experienced abuse, racism, and alienation from his community. It was not until he took his own life that we realized just how difficult his life really was.
The reader is made aware of all of this through Raymond's own words as well as those of others who knew him. The author of this book has done an excellent job of allowing us to walk through Raymond's world through his eyes. The reader is privy to all of the thoughts he had and all of the things he did to try to cope with them. It is honest, raw, and very poignant. Adults can learn much from this book about dealing with difficult emotions and bad experiences throughout life.
I loved this book. It is a very well-written story of a troubled teenager's struggles in the 1960s. It is interwoven with many incidents of racism, bullying, and other forms of mistreatment
