[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Hearts You Give Lift Our Voices Eternally" by Gregory Hebert.]
The Hearts U Give Lift Our Voices Eternally: THUG LOVE by Gregory Hebert is a short non-fiction book about having faith and hoping for the best despite impediments.
Gregory Hebert recounts how he was knocked down by a car when he was nine years old. Mr. Hebert was in a coma for two months after the accident. After he regained consciousness and was discharged from the hospital, it was noticed that he began to perform some tasks slower than expected. However, he continued to strive for excellence. In this book, the author shares how his family and other notable individuals have been supportive in his life. He also shares how he has been able to live his life despite being diagnosed with Traumatic Brain Injury.
There's joy in my heart as I write this review. And it is mostly because of the author's unbroken spirit despite his condition. I believe his story will not only encourage us but also inspire us to act responsibly regardless of the obstacles we face in life. The moral of the author's story is what I liked the most about this book. Its message of hope is inspiring. I also like that the author shares how he was able to manage some of the effects of his injury. I found his use of rap music to overcome "slow speech" to be fascinating.
Furthermore, I enjoyed the author's narrating style. Using the first-person point of view, the author pours out his heart through a simple language. I like that the author did not try to hide the challenges he is facing due to his disability. Instead, he talks about them and what he is doing to solve the challenges. This 33-page book is easy to read. It contains three chapters that follow a linear sequence of the author's life, thereby making the narrations easy to follow.
Nevertheless, I didn't enjoy how the book ended abruptly. Perhaps I just wanted more information about the author's welfare. I blame it on how much I was able to relate to his story. However, the overall inspiring reading experience makes up for that. The book seems to be professionally edited since I found only a few errors in it. It is also devoid of profanities. Considering all the points going for this book, I am gladly rating it four out of four stars. I am recommending it to readers who enjoy non-fiction books, especially those who are looking for inspiring books about dealing with disabilities.
