In life, we most often try to imagine how perfect someone's life is, either that of a friend or someone we look up to, not knowing that everyone has their challenges and no one is living a perfect life. I Am You: a novel, oh, and some poetry by L.E. Santos is a fictional book that talks about what it is like to be another person or live in another person's body. The author talked about what it is like to live the life of another person and see what he or she has to deal with in daily life. In this book, the author talks about living the life of Andrew, a cafe attendant, and seeing all he had to deal with. He also talked about living Andrea and Adams' lives and seeing exactly what it is like to be them. What do you think living Andrew's life was like? Were Adam, Andrew, and Andrea facing the same challenges in their various lives? Find out about that when you read this book.

As I read this book I understood that everybody has what bothers them in their various lives and nobody is perfect even if we see them on the outside to be perfect. This book enlightened me and made me realize that I always have to be grateful for the life I have and not wish I were somebody else, as I don't know what that person might be going through.

What I liked about this book was how the author explained what it was like to live the different lives of Andrew, Adam, and Andrea. I also liked that the book identified each of the challenges that they were passing through in their various lives.

Though I understood the information the author was trying to pass along, I felt bad for Adam and Andrew, as I did not like how they were treated. I also didn't like how the author jumped between stories, as it almost made it confusing for me to read. If you do not like books with much profanity, then this book might cause some concern or be a little disturbing to you. While reading this book, I didn't notice any errors, which brings me to the conclusion that this book was exceptionally well edited. Despite my dislikes above, this book was interesting and enjoyable for me to read as I could see into the lives of those like Andrew, Adam, and Andrea. I, therefore, give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars.

I recommend this book to people who feel like they are living a miserable life or to those who would love to know what it is like to live a different life, as they would learn from this book.

Truly, nobody is perfect, and everyone has one thing or the other bothering them. This book has a unique name, by the way. Thank you for this lovely review.

The title of this book has some sound of uniqueness to it. It's not the normal title we see given to a book everyday and it matches the description of the book from your detailed review.

Indeed everyone has challenges in life, and Is required to face them squarely and not compare your life with that of others. I love the book cover.

I like the concept of this novel. A lot will think because things are looking rosy that such person is not having a bad life, which is a lie. I hope everyone get to realize this.

In life, I believe that nobody is perfect but we only get better by accepting our mistakes and take corrections. Nice review.

I agree with you. Most people in life try to follow others' lifestyles but not knowing what the person may be passing through in the closet. I love your review. Good job.

In various occasions, I discovered that people I thoght had a terrific life actually had or were having serious problems. Most of the times, we have no idea about other people's problems and struggles, so a novel like this one can offer a proper perspective. Thank you for your great review!
Ciao :)

This book will remind us that no one in this world lives a perfect life. Even the richest man in the world. I like to read like this on how the author presents the lives of Andrew, Adam, and Andrea. What would be the feelings of living a different life? A must-read book for me. Your review is amazing, Amanda!
