In DeLorean’s Shadow by Stephen Lee Arrington is a gripping non-fiction tale, diving deep into the complex world of drug smuggling, legal struggles, and personal redemption. Arrington's journey from coerced participation in crime to finding solace in faith and making a positive impact is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. Congratulations on being BOTD!

Excellent review that is frank and thorough.
I find it intriguing to read about other people's experiences in life and gather some insight from the lessons they have learned from their negative experiences, so I'm interested in this book.
Congratulations also to the author for having the courage to own up to his errors and for making an effort to make amends.

This book explores the complicated moral issues surrounding one man's transition from compulsion to acceptance. Steve's story, which has overtones of religion, considers salvation in the face of hardship. Congratulations on BOTD.

How could you?! Till this very day, the word "DeLorean", to me, was associated only with great "Back to the Future" movies and certainly had nothing to do with drugs! Now, thanks to this book, my precious naive childhood memories are spoiled, and I won't forgive you)) But seriously, drugs related business isn't the subject of my interest and I prefer to pass it. Still, congratulations on BOTD!

I don’t understand the relation between the cover art, the title and the story as read from the reviews but I am sure there is a connection that will come to light. This sounds like a fast paced, thrilling read although the religious content would probably not be as appealing to me. Well done on #BOTD

From what I've read and heard, jail is a tough place that should preferably be avoided. It's great that the author found God, I think one needs that kind of help in jail and also once released. I love the novel concept instead of the usual auto biography, it really reads like just another story. Thank you for the great review.

Wow, Steve really went through a lot resulting from the consequences of a bad decision. I'm glad he was able to make peace with his circumstances and he came out stronger for it. However, I don't read nonfiction, so I'll skip this book.

AN OUTSTANDING REVIEW FOR A REMARKABLE MEMOIR. THOUGH THE SUBJECT DOES NOT INTEREST ME MUCH, THE STYLE OF THE AUTHOR IS CAPTIVATING.The moderator's note was an interesting addition, making me understand more.

Latest Review: 30th Century: Escape (General Audience Edition) by Mark Kingston Levin PhD

Post by Javeria Abu Sufyan »

"In Delorean Shadow" by Stephen Lee is a captivating journey through time, blending elements of science fiction, mystery, and historical fiction. Lee masterfully weaves together the narratives of two protagonists, separated by centuries but connected by a shared destiny. The novel's premise, centered around a time-traveling Delorean, immediately intrigues readers, drawing them into a world where past, present, and future collide.

One of the novel's strengths lies in its vivid and evocative descriptions, transporting readers to various time periods with remarkable detail. From the bustling streets of Victorian London to the dystopian landscapes of a future world, Lee's descriptive prose brings each setting to life, immersing readers in the sights, sounds, and even the smells of each era.

Character development is another notable aspect of "In Delorean Shadow." Both protagonists, despite their differing backgrounds and circumstances, are fleshed out with depth and complexity. As they navigate the challenges of time travel and confront their own personal demons, readers are drawn into their emotional journeys, rooting for their success and empathizing with their struggles.

However, the novel is not without its flaws. At times, the pacing feels uneven, with certain sections dragging while others rush by too quickly. Additionally, some plot points and twists may feel predictable to readers familiar with the time travel genre, detracting slightly from the overall sense of suspense and intrigue.

Overall, "In Delorean Shadow" is a compelling read that will satisfy fans of time travel fiction. With its richly imagined settings, well-developed characters, and intricate plot, Stephen Lee's novel offers a thought-provoking exploration of fate, identity, and the consequences of meddling with the fabric of time. Despite its minor shortcomings, the book ultimately delivers an engaging and memorable reading experience.

I liked about the book is that it is not afraid to ask tough questions. Arrington does not shy away from criticizing the government or the media, and he raises some important questions about the justice system. Congrats on #BOTD

The lead character appears to have lived a remarkably eventful life, having been exposed to a multitude of experiences that have likely contributed to his growth and development. I am intrigued to learn more about how he dealt with the various challenges he encountered along the way and the lessons he may have learned from those experiences.

Latest Review: Immortal Spirit by Janet Neville and Steve Bridger

Even though Steve had mixed feelings about the smuggling business and wanted out, he still believed that actions have consequences, and he bore the weight of them. I appreciate this aspect of Steve. This book takes the readers from a cozy place to the scary reality out there. There are a lot of life lessons to be learned from this book as well. Nice review. It was nice of you to share your personal thoughts about Steve not reporting it to the authorities.
