This book is hard to put down from the get-go. No need for any build up, as the first paragraph hooks you into this roller-coaster ride. It takes you on the author's journey through one of his most harrowing periods. We see the him struggle with his situations, his inner emotions, his need to improve and how that all came together in a foreseen conclusion. A great read!

Delorean's Shadow is live changing situations that enable one to make a difference between being good or bad to the society not only to your self, it enables one to be human by making the world a better place for everyone. Look at Steve situations is Christ power that was able to change his behavior and actions(Romans 12:2) by using the guide of the holy Spirit. He is able to spread the Gospel as command. I love this book, because it's awesome it makes me to realize Isaiah 40:31

I've never read a book about this book. What makes this book to be more appealing to me is about Christ intervention in this author's life. At his lowest momenr, this author calls on the Lord. Congrats for being the #botd.

The reviewer's acknowledgment of a potential discrepancy regarding the inmate with AIDS shows a critical eye. Despite this, the overall positive tone and the endorsement of the book as a beautiful, tear-jerking read are persuasive.

In the end, wrong is never right. Illegal sidelines happening more now a days because of an easy money but tolerating about drugs smugglers are very wrong in the end. Life would be miserable.

This is really inspiring, and I am glad that the author accepted the consequences of his actions, regardless of the pain it would bring. I am a Christian, and it is good to see that author could indeed find solace in the Bible during his incarceration. I have added this to my want-to-read shelf. Many thanks for the incredible review.
