Review of Memoir
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Memoir" by Warren Thomas Brown.]
I would like to leave a rating of 4 out of 5 for ‘Memoir’. The book's editing is commendable, with well-chosen chapter lengths and comfortable page formatting that enhance the reading experience. Warren Thomas Brow provides an honest and transparent view of the working and legal environment in Australia during the mid-20th century. This book will appeal to readers interested in this period of Australian history.
The author uses simple and easy-to-understand language, offering an authentic perspective on his experiences. This is especially helpful for readers who may not have extensive knowledge of that era in Australia. The narrative begins with his childhood as a farmer's son, detailing daily life and family dynamics. Including a family tree would have clarified this part of the story. The book then progresses to his education, the challenges of becoming an engineer, and the hostile legal conditions he faced on various projects. Knowing how difficult it was to be an engineer back then, given the technology, work environment, and pressure from authorities, is intriguing and enlightening.
Reflecting on the past work environment and legal conditions makes me appreciate our current situation more. The author provides a comprehensive view of the engineering field and exposes the harsh realities imposed by authorities. The inclusion of photos is particularly helpful, as it can be challenging to envision the site conditions through words alone.
My only suggestion is that the book's focus on various projects can become repetitive, causing a loss of concentration. Including more about his personal life would make the memoir more holistic and engaging.
In conclusion, ‘Memoir’ is a compelling read that offers a transparent view of the engineering industry in Australia during the mid-20th century. I would love to see more of the author's personal life included to provide a more comprehensive view of the era.
