Review of The Sojourners
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Sojourners" by T. L. Hughes.]
The story is about three good friends, who took a brave challenge after deciding to tour Europe on a journey seeking for work, in the music video production business. Michael Hogan, Kansas-born Lucas Coppens, and Ohio-born Declan Brady had adventured Ly lived in a Ford Fairlane, Luke’s car during their month-long trip across the United States.
It was stories of "the queen taking the corn beef away from us, and we are starved to death, and the great hunger came and took out considerable numbers of the family", that has formidably arranged and culturized the thinking of these young men, as they set on a journey that incapacitates the Title: The Sojourners written by T. L. Hughes.
Shortly arriving in England, Michael and his friends took their journey of a lifetime - as they began to comb the streets of London seeking after a non-existed career in the music video production field. Some of the things the author would have mentioned as they walked the streets, they observed the people. Some wore punk-rocker types of hair style that was spiked-out in green and blue color, some with shaven heads accompanied by blokes sported one-rowed manes. There were also punker girls with manes-as the writer imagined, looking like crazy lizards, with loud buckles, wearing knee high leather boots and three footed pocket chains, with heavy coats draped over their bony shoulders, as if they had stolen Count Dracula’s cape from his corpse. As the author brought to life the era of the 90s through his imagery, the fashions,songs and poetry, scenery of buildings, and landscapes of almost everything and everywhere he traveled.
As Michael looked for love, as he cannot get the thought of Colette off his mind, as he recollects his selfish act as to why Colette broke up with him. As Michael recounted that day when he had Colette use her purse to sneak some bottles of Budweiser into an Angels/Red Sox game at Anaheim Stadium. Inside the stadium gates, she was frisked and given a citation, which required her to appear before the court. The worse of it was that Michael never supported Colette all the while, it was thoughtless and cold hearted as he led the way for the demise of his relationship with Colette. And so, it played on his mind all the while as he looked for love imaging it to be in the arms reach of the street of Amsterdam. At the end of it all Michael became the luckiest guy on earth as Colette forgave Michael after a long pause with some silent treatment, and that did the trick. While in Germany, Opa the old white-haired man who fought in the cold war and was on countless times apologetic for it, as he recounted Hitler to be a bad man and much sadness was brought to his people and nation. The torturing imagery of fake shower heads that brought the false promise of water; and where water never flowed from them. A small window the Germans used to watch the death of their victims in horror, the murmuring walls crying out as the author imagined the poisonous gas filled the room, as he expresses the thought of being chocked to death. Films of dreaded stories showed Jewish prisoners subjects of brutal medical experiments, some having subjected to the effects of extreme g-forces – an experiment to see how much force it would take to tear skin from the bones, as the author toured the Dachau memorial in his mind.
The many people Michael and his friends would have met, and the different life experiences would have portrayed in this fictional story.
The positive aspect of this book is that the author gave a very interesting, and vivid images that ones can have the opportunity to relive and relate the story as the author sees it.
I enjoyed the booked, but unfortunately, I think the book has too many curse words. There were no gramma/typos errors. I rate this book a 4 out of 4 . I would recommend a more matured audience for the reading of this book.
