This might be the most transparent and enlightening review I’ve read in OLBC in some time. I love how T is so benevolent and compassionate in reviewing a book that was soaring for the spiritual stars in its aspiration. That is a very cool thing. I’ve never written a book. But if I ever did, I’d want someone like T reviewing it.Tomy Chandrafrost wrote: ↑23 Apr 2024, 10:03 [Following is a volunteer review of "life.............connected" by jacksel.]
The book tells the story of Jacksen's struggle in his personal journey related to belief, self-discovery, and interpreting life experiences. In this book, the author shares many of his opinions on various things he has observed and understood in his life.
As a Buddhist, I was interested because the title promised a deeper discussion about Christianity.
However, when I started reading, even from the beginning, I found it difficult to understand the author's writing, which seemed not to have been well organized. Many parts appeared disjointed from one another.
The book feels like a collection of the author's advice and recommendations on various life-related topics. Sometimes he talks about his journey, sometimes about movies he's watched, sometimes about a military figure, wars, and weapons. He often relates stories about history he's seen in movies and includes some quotes.
I appreciate the author's effort to share his experiences over time, especially through various photo snippets, newspaper clippings, or good quotes he's read along with the year he experienced them. It feels intimate, like reading the memoir of someone close to us.
This book has an flawless editing. I give this book a rating of 3 out of 5. My difficulty in understanding and following the author's train of thought is the reason for this rating. I'm not sure if this is due to the format provided, but the font choice and paragraph arrangement are messy.
From one paragraph to another, sometimes the discussed themes seem mismatched. The author seems to pour out his thoughts directly onto paper, write them down, and then send them straight to the publisher without deeper revision.
Moreover, this book's shortcoming also lies in the mismatch between the title and its content, where it should have discussed Christianity.
Perhaps this book would be more appropriately titled as a memoir about his life experiences and how his journey intertwines with the beliefs he holds.

I wonder if the author intended to express thought as is and purposefully not create coherent information.
The Title, " Review of Life .....connected", perhaps leaves the reader to connect the dots
An interesting review on a a book that leaves one with much to ponder in so many ways.
