Lauren (originally_elle) | 250 comments So I just want to say that Im very jealous of everyone who is reading The Iron Traitor (The Iron Fey Call of the Forgotten, #2) by Julie Kagawa or The Fiery Heart (Bloodlines, #4) by Richelle Mead

I am currently reading Days of Blood & Starlight (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #2) by Laini Taylor & Shooting Scars (The Artists Trilogy, #2) by Karina Halle .

I haven't really had a chance to get into Shooting Scars yet but the 1st book of the series (Sins & Needles) was pretty good so I have high hopes! & of course - Days of Blood & Starlight is amazing !!

Still Alice is amazing, especially if you know someone who lives with Alzheimer's. I feel like it might have even made me cry, which not very many books do.

Raymond Mathiesen (raymondmathiesen) | 23 comments Hypocrites In His Midst: A Story About Flawed Human Beings by Donnell Wilson – Book Review

4.5 out of 5 stars


The long road from street gangs to success…
Wilton Latso is seventy two years old and a grandfather. In the middle of a heated argument with his adult daughter Abbie, Wilton realizes that she has no idea of who he is, where he came from, and why he did the things he did when he was bringing her up. Spontaneously Wilton starts remembering and soon he decides to write down the story of his life. Wilton came from a poor family living in a poor suburb of St. Louis, Missouri in the late 1940’s / early 1950s. In this era of street gangs Wilton is soon introduced to a world of violence, ego and selfishness. Wilton’s parents are staunch Pentecostal Christians, but Wilton doubts that faith from the start. The trouble is that he can see all too clearly his parent’s hypocrisy, particularly his mother’s. Throughout his life Wilton will continue to observe people, noting many to be hollow, offering friendship, espousing beliefs but proving to be fakes.

Donnell Wilson’s Hypocrites In His Midst: A Story About Flawed Human Beings is a fictional autobiography spanning seven decades. It is a story of “redemption” (Ch. 8) in a secular sense. This is a book about trying to “do the right thing” (Ch. 3), though the “right thing” (Ch. 2) is not always obvious or easy to achieve. Wilson’s novel, especially in the first three Parts, is broadly comparable to Nicky Cruz’s real life autobiography Run Baby Run (Logos, 1972), though that book is firmly Christian, while this book is firmly agnostic (Ch. 31). Most of all, this book is about how a person can growing to maturity (or avoid it).
