Journal Entry 1 by kidwrangler from Gold Coast, Queensland Australia on Saturday, September 28, 2024
I received this book from Good Reading Review Early Bird Reads. My review:
The Fists of the Father by Daniel Tamone well and truly packed a punch as a knock out five star book for this reader. A book based around boxing is definitely reading well outside my preferred genre and interests, but I could not put this book down. The characters, their relationships and the overarching themes questioning if we are all destined to repeat the patterns of our past or capable of moving towards hope and self-realisation are so incredibly compelling!
I do not like boxing. At all. Yet I was completely hooked by the storylines despite being centred around boxers and boxing. Daniel Tamone’s skill as an author has shone in the creation of this moving and highly readable narrative. He allows the reader to safely explore a world with some intensely dark trauma without making it a painful ordeal to read. There is both depth and a lightness to this book that makes me want to share it with friends and discuss it at a book club. Definitely a Good Read!
To the finder of this book: please feel free to let me know your thoughts on or plans for this great read! Thanks from Kidwrangler :)
