Review by black panther4 -- Don't Mind Me, I'm Just Havi...
[Following is a volunteer review of "Don't Mind Me, I'm Just Having a Bad Life" by Lewis Kempfer.]
It felt like going through a storm of raging emotions. Don’t Mind Me, I’m Just Having a Bad Life by Lewis Kempfer is a memoir. After reading, I realized that the author wasn’t having a bad life. He was living a terrible life. The author’s emotions were so raw and open that it made me speechless. It was so hard to digest the contents of the book.
I never thought a person could go through so much. When I read other books with characters suffering a lot, I consoled myself that the characters weren’t real. However, I couldn’t do that while I was reading this book. Every. Single. Thing. In. This. Book. Was. Real. How can a person have so much bad luck? My heart stung every time his relationship broke. Even after men dumped him one after the other, it never stopped him from loving the next person he fell in love with. I deeply admire his belief and hope in love.
I’ve had my share of depression and I know how hard it is to carry the burden. Add loneliness to that and it will become insane. I fought through it with the help of my friends and family but in the author’s case, he had no one. Throughout the book, I wanted to whack the immoral people in Mr.Kempfer’s life for making him so miserable. The ones on the top of my want-to-whack-with-a-frying-pan list are Dennis the biological father, Ruben the ugly stepfather#1, Mr.Fruitcake the disgusting psychiatrist (Seriously, who gave him his job?), and Ewan the liar. These four people affected the author’s life most horribly, in my opinion.
There isn’t anything I despise about the book. It did disturb me sometimes, but I accepted the truth. When the book ended, I realized that the author is only one among the many who are suffering just like the author did. It is really brave of the author to tell his story to the world and fess up his mistakes. I appreciate the author’s mother a lot. She was going through her own problems, but that didn’t stop her from taking care of her son. She is a strong woman, and I respect her.
The aspect I like most about the book is the way in which the author weaved the story. Biographies are not my cup of tea, but this one had me spellbound. The humor the author added made the book more interesting.
I rate Don’t Mind Me, I’m Just Having a Bad Life by Lewis Kempfer four out of four stars. There are graphic sex scenes. I was unable to find any errors and the book was well edited. Profanity was used throughout the plot. A single question popped into my mind after I finished reading. Would the author have gone through all these struggles if his father had taken good care of him? I would recommend this book to adults, but fair warning; this book contains a lot of instances that many may find disturbing.
I am glad that the author gave up his addiction to drugs and sex. I sincerely pray he finds happiness in his life and become stronger than ever. I hope karma creeps up on the dreadful people in the author’s life and give them what they deserve.
