I like your writing style. You captured the thematic concerns, plot development and storyline in a simple and excellent writing style, which doesn't confuse readers. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for such a great review. I am glad that this book will teach us as parent's and the community on the evils that some people are capable of. If you live in a negative community, it will impact your life and future decisions greatly.

Many people like juan are unable to see the good in life after having to ho through a tough childhood. I appreciate the author writing this book, it shows the children who were brought up amidst poverty and alcohol that they are not alone. This is a book that will change many lives and is also and entertaining read. Congratulations on BOTD!

It’s sometimes very touching to come a cross a child who was denied proper parenting. Thanks for the excellent review.

It is sad that Juan grew up surrounded by nothing but hunger, alcohol, sex, poverty, and an irresponsible mother and had to mature early. I am eager to see how the author presents these subject matters and how Juan deals with them. This book sounds interesting so congratulations on BOTD.

It is sad how much our childhoods, good or bad, influence the kind of people we grow up to become. This sounds like an interesting book to read. Thanks for the detailed review.

Seems like Juan had a hard childhood and things were stacked against him from the beginning. Almost perfect is a flattering and huge "compliment for any book. I'm not into psychological thrillers so I might skip this one.

I have picked up a number of emotions like sadness, anger, disappointment, just by reading your review. I am happy that the plot of story shows how the beauty of soul can get destroyed, effects, and results too. I love such stories. They give a realistic perspective, even though they have a fictitious approach.

Often time, it's been said that our personality and who we turn out to be is mostly shaped by our upbringing. Environment, peer pressure and most importantly the family.
I believe parents should take responsibility for their children as this would prevent cases like Juan's.
Thanks for the review.

We meet different people in our everyday life. Judging by our observations on how these people associate with others in the community , we question the society in which they are born in. Growing up in pove :twisted2: rty and having an irresponsible guardian like Juan can put a lot of young generation under emotional trauma. As these children grow they engage themselves in unethical activies prostitution, weaponry and drug trafficking for survival .The making of evil will help us understand what exactly goes in these societies.

I'm impressed by the author's thorough knowledge of the forbidding street life and how he shows the problem surrounding people who live in extreme poverty without any prejudice.

Wow! This would be an interesting read to recognise the impact of society, environment, and parental support on a person's development from childhood. Thanks for your detailed review and recommendation. I look forward to reading it. Congratulations BOTD!
