End Of 2010

Well, this obviously concludes the end of books read in 2010. Just wait until next year w/ a whole new catagory of authors and characters for enjoyment or learning experience. Some of these book were pretty obvious that they weren't read within this year's time frame, some were read early on, but have stuck with me and I wanted to share w/ you those books, authors' stories and, lessons as well. I hope you've enjoyed some these or all of  these as a year draws to a close. Just wait to see what books are in store for 2011. Thanks to those who became a follower. Hope to hear from you next year.

Charlie St Cloud

This next book was one of the stories of what it means for how much a little brother means to his older one. Charlie St Cloud  is a fictional story that starts out when an accident takes the life of Sam St Cloud and the guilt that his older brother, Charlie, survived. Throughout this story he learned how to live, love, and find a way to forgive himself  and move on.

The  End Result:

I Loved this book!

It can let you invision what life would be like if we got to see or even hang out with those that have died and we have lost.

The way Charlie never lets himself forget how much his brother meant to him and how he learned to forgive himself and let go of what's gone.

A film version was released in early 2010 starring Zac Efron as the title character of Charlie.

Finding Fish

This book tells the TRUE story of Antwone Quinton Fisher. His life story tells of a cruel and harsh beginning of foster care, due to his mother giving him away to Social Services. Through the hands of his foster mother, Antwone's story tells of harsh physical, mental and, sexual abuse he had to endure.

While sustaining the abuse, Antwone never had that need to be ungrateful. Eventually, Antwone did find his own freedom and joined the Navy to escape these harsh realities of this once frightful life. There were periods in Naval life that Antwone's past seemed to catch up w/ unresolved feelings by starting and creating fights simply out of nowhere.

Resulting  in Naval consequences and wanting Antwone to eventually see a counselor, he sought out the counselor's advice to find his own belonging.

The  End  Result:

I LOVED this book!

The journey this story takes Antwone when most people would look as the past as a F U!

He looked at it as a missing puzzle piece and he was DAMN WELL determined to find the proper fit.

But what he found .  .  . now that was DAMN NEAR incredible!! The title of this book itself says it all.

In the end:

I Loved This Book!

This book was published in 2001 and one year later in 2002 a feature film was made starring and directed by Denzel Washington and Derek Luke as the title role of remarkable Antwone Fisher.
