Review of Past Imperfect
Posted: 03 Apr 2023, 02:16
[Following is a volunteer review of "Past Imperfect" by G D Harrison.]
Various sayings emphasize the importance of knowing our past, either to understand how it was or to learn how to carry ourselves in the present and into the future. The case seems different in Past Imperfect where Colin's mom isn't about to let him know how he came to be and who is responsible as the father. He appreciates his mother's love and concern for all these years leading to his adulthood regardless, but will he be quenched in his quest for the past?
Today, it happens to be somehow normal to find single-parent homes where no candid reason can explain the missing parent. A canny reason can be an untimely death, according to me. Today's statistics have actually noticed this trend and begun documenting it and portraying how grim this can be for young children. The book lets us know how an ailing parent can be a hindrance to progress, especially for their children. This calls for sanity today in order to be healthy tomorrow and save our caregivers the trouble.
Life is portrayed as being circular in a way that we were born and cared for, later cared for someone, and the cycle ends with us being cared for again. The reality of old age is portrayed in the book. G D Harrison also must have meant to show his reader that we can never run from our actions, however much we think we have covered them or how much money we put out there to cover them.
I liked the creativity quite evident in the book, as the development of characters was slow and yet quite enthralling, especially towards the end. I like how the book shows the importance of catering to our loving parents, who went out of their way to do so for us in our tender years. Somehow, it's also proven that a child's growing environment is likely to be a source of his future career ambitions. Needless to say, the book has bee exceptionally edited and well divided into chapters.
I rather disliked the book's font, which proved to be small and difficult to deal with. Regardless, I found it adequate to award the book 5 out of 5 stars as it avoided profanities and had a lot of good grammar a reader could learn from as well as its exceptional editing. The use of dialogue expounded the book, which benefited the reader. The book would be appropriate for young adults interested in fiction, as they can get a glimpse of how careers are molded at an early age.
