[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Firestorm" by Eleanor G Liggens.]
The story narrates the experience of Newman, who, having lost his job and all possessions, opts to relocate to seek new job opportunities while residing with a relative. Unforeseen to him, the journey he embarked on presents an exceptionally challenging task. One that he encounters in an environment unwelcoming to individuals of color. Faced with the realization of enduring societal biases, Newman wrestles with the decision to accept the daunting task despite the discouraging attitudes he anticipates. Ultimately, his resolve is tested as he chooses to confront these adversities head-on and carry out the task, even if it appears impossible.
Firestorm by Eleanor G Liggens is an engaging non-fiction narrative that captivates readers, compelling them to return to its pages even after the initial read. Eleanor Liggen’s writing style is an exquisite blend of eloquence and depth, captivating readers with a rare literary finesse. Eleanor Liggen’s writing resonates with an emotional depth that brings her stories to life, making her a master of evocative storytelling. Her unique and engaging style not only captures the reader's imagination but also leaves a lasting impression, making her an author worthy of admiration and praise. The book's depth and rich storytelling encourage readers to relish and savor each chapter, fostering a desire to revisit its content and making it an enthralling and enduring piece of literature.
Within the pages of the book, the character that resonated with me was Newman. His portrayal as a strong and disciplined young man embodies the essence of determination and resilience. Newman epitomizes the embodiment of one's commitment to portraying a resolute mindset that can overcome adversities. Often, I find it rare to form a strong attachment to the main character of a narrative, yet Newman's character is an exception, drawing my genuine admiration for his remarkable attributes and compelling persona. His journey and the depth of his character development throughout the book are engaging, making him an irresistible and memorable protagonist that captivates the reader's attention.
The vivid portrayal of the settings within the book was exceptionally immersive, prompting vivid and recurring imaginings of the simple yet serene life depicted. The environment painted within the narrative was captivating, and I found myself continuously engrossed in the scenes presented. As the story progressed, my attachment to the setting grew, and I harbored a sense of anticipation, hoping that the narrative wouldn’t draw to a close, wishing to linger within the world created by the author for a little longer. I also admire Jake’s love for Vicki. Jake's support of his wife was truly admirable. His resoluteness to stand by her side through the challenges and struggles that unfolded within the narrative was commendable. This level of support demonstrated an inspiring bond in their relationship, which resonated strongly throughout the book.
The book is expertly edited, a proof of its professional quality. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars due to its original storyline. I particularly appreciated the fact that the story was not a work of fiction, adding an intriguing element to the reading experience. Despite the book's extensive page count, I found myself reluctant for the story to conclude. I felt sad when it did. My only critique is the prevalence of excessive dialogue throughout the book. I highly recommend this book to enthusiasts of non-fiction literature and to those who relish adventurous narratives.
