I found the origin story of the book fascinating. What life did Beni really lead? We will never know, but this book gives us an idea of what it might have been. Great review, thanks!

A fictional book that revolves around a non-fictional event, Interesting. We all experience a Patricia at one point or the other in our lives. The review is well written and it ignites my curiosity as to the end of both young men. Congratulations on BOTD

I appreciate the fact that the book deals with real events, which makes it quite close and really useful. People can find at least a couple of useful tips in the text. Certainly, no one changes for others. Thanks for this detailed review.

Addiction is a nasty thing to deal with at any level. There are people who are more prone to it than others, and I applaud anyone who can find their path out. Great review

Your review is well written, and it paints this book in a good light, even though the book doesn't deal with a subject matter that interests me. Well done!

The best part about "Redemption Bound by SK Alfstad" is its non-fictional ideas intertwined in a fictional story. The issues related to addiction find a place in this fictional story.

On a serious note, an addicted person has lost meaning of life. This is a serious problem threatening humans and our future.
Books written on such topics helps not only one reader but the entire society.

Great review.
Thank you

The theme of this book is about two young men that struggled with alcohol and drug addiction. 80% of the story was about Beni and 20% was about Marquise. Beni had two tatoos on his back, the Grim Reaper and Jesus, definitely two opposing figures. Both characters loved Blues music and did not become addicts without assistance from others. To find out what happens to them one must read the book. Good review.

Reading this review gave me greater insight into the book, the characters, and what the book is about. All of which was not immediately aware after reading the introduction of the book. This review is well-written and gives a great overall depiction of the book. It increases my intent to read the full book.

Why would the protagonist have the tattoos of two persons with distinct personalities? I shall check this book out to find more. Thanks for the recommendation.

Addiction is such a terrible thing especially when it negatively affect your family, economic, and other life important issues. I pity Dawn and the kids who suffered from Beni's addiction problem.. it's so sad. That's a brilliant review!
