Review of In DeLorean's Shadow
Through In DeLorean's Shadow by Stephen Lee Arrington, readers are offered a front-seat view of the portraiture of the author's life. With moments of intense fear and danger contrasted with modest and deeply humbling moments of God's grace and love, this is a wholesome book. In the beginning, it feels a little bit like those clichéd books about the mafia or the Medellin cartel and the drug business that shamelessly copy the Godfather, but the true story of this book hits the reader with intense amazement, wonder, fear, and then joy at the author's eventual happy ending. As the story unfolds, we travel many landscapes with the author, who is also a beloved protagonist, many of them more spiritual and psychological than physical.
Stephen Lee Arrington's unravelling starts when he is discharged from the Navy for possessing and using marijuana. Stephen is caught right in the act of flushing the illegal drug down the toilet. After serving his time at the brig, he starts teaching diving while going to college and living in Revelstoke. It is at this point that he meets Morgan Hetrick, and at this point, the whole story unfolds. Read this book to learn more about Stephen Arrington and all he has felt and seen.
I quite enjoyed the illustrative narration of the author's underwater adventures as the chief diver and expedition leader of the Costeau society. Storytelling like that always made me feel like I was underwater with the author and the rest of the crew, especially whenever they were in a shark tank. I also liked how this was not a monolithic narrative fixated on a singular part of the author's life. It had so many different parts, and to put this book in a single category would be a great disservice. Great among this book's positive points is the author's honesty and transparency; I could feel Stephen's truth through the words. Stephen Lee Arrington is a good role model for at each point of his life, he was brave and unrelenting. I cannot conclude this part of the review without extolling the author's great and broad knowledge, especially in the world of water, emergency rescue, and Christianity.
I didn't come across any part of the book that I didn't appreciate. It was a wholesome read, and it was a pleasure to read different parts of the author's life.
I rate In DeLorean's Shadow by Stephen Lee Arrington four out of four stars. I found one error in it, and I believe it was professionally edited.
I recommend this book to ex-felons, ex-servicemen, and anyone that needs a very good read. Lovers of autobiographies will also enjoy the book.
