[Following is a volunteer review of "...on your way home...Do This" by George Six.]
On your way home... Do This is a different book from what I have read before. It is about the 50s and I just couldn't connect with the book. It is more of what happened in the early years, more like what a grandfather would say to his grandchildren. Not only that, but it's a Christian book that talks about Georgie. It has content about his life, him growing up, his Christian life, his relationship with his wife, kids, parents and brother, the great depression and the world war. The content is basically about his life and how he lived it. Looking at the title, I was expecting to find content that has to do with the title, but then I couldn't find it. The title captured my attention, but the book didn't resonate with the title for me. I could say that I found the meaning of the title at the end of the book, which was the epilogue. Reading the book I got to explore how Georgie grew up, who he is and more. I think I got to understand more of the content as I read the epilogue.
What I love about this piece of writing is the fact that I got to think about some things Georgie said in the epilogue. He wrote about the COVID-19, he had some points which made me think of what is going on around the world. I have learned about the history, I got to know how a person lived during the tough times of the world wars and the great depression. I love that the book has a touch of an old person with more knowledge telling me about the old days. Furthermore, I love the fact that Georgie spent most of his time helping people, which made the world a better place to be in for the people he helped. I love that he was invested in the community and being with people, which changes my perspective of life.
What I hate about the book is the fact that most of the time, I just couldn't understand or connect with what Georgie was saying. Maybe it's because I was not there during the old times, and now I found it hard to understand what the author was saying. I hate the fact that I understood the title on the epilogue. I honestly feel like Georgie didn't explore the emotional side of him when he grew up. It has interesting stories about other people, but then as a reader, I wanted to explore some of the challenges he faced as an individual.
Therefore, I would like to rate the book 2 out of 4 because I learned more about Christianity and I think it is fair enough because I wanted to connect with Georgie's emotional side, but I didn't, I also found the meaning of the title on the end of the book. A 2 out of 4 rating is what I think is best because of the things I experienced reading the book.
The book is recommendable to people who are Christians because it is a book based on a person who spent most of their life in church. The book can be read by people at the age of 25 going up because I don't think a person at a young age could understand the content, just as I couldn't.
