Many philosophers worldwide have raised some life questions, yet the answers have always sounded too abstract or theoretical. A Walk in the Twilight by John J. Bosco Jr. succinctly describes the author’s childhood, career, family life and thoughts about some life questions. The book has five parts, each dealing with a specific topic. The first part chronicles John’s life and provides information about his family members, career path and retirement.

John has painted an accurate picture of his life in this book, which is what I liked the most about this text. He has chronicled his successes and challenges and even described his failures. This blatant honesty enabled me to contextualize the author’s thoughts about the life questions he had been grappling with further, such as God’s existence, the concept of the multiverses, the meaning of life, death and even the theory of evolution. Even as he shares his opinions about the subjects, he takes a liberal perspective, inviting everyone to engage with him without seemingly imposing his beliefs on his readers.

The intertextuality of this book incorporated essays co-authored by M Squared, poems and dialogue. These components also centered around love, global politics and climate change, among other issues currently affecting the world. John further provided contexts to these poems, enhancing readers’ comprehension of his motivation when composing them. The book also contains mental and physical health information, making it a holistic source of insight for readers across a wider divide.

However, I found many grammatical errors in this book, which detracted from my enjoyment. The typos further informed my belief that the book was not professionally edited. This is what I liked the least about this book. Hence, I can only award it four out of five stars for now, owing to the editing issues I found in the book.

I recommend this text to adult readers who enjoy reading autobiographies and memoirs. One is advised to adopt an open mind while reading some sections of the book, especially the author’s views regarding religion or spirituality.
