Summary: This story goes nowhere
Review: I wanted to review this book because I enjoy a good non-fiction
mystery. I was sorely disappointed by the first line. There were more adjectives in the first sentence than a text book. The author goes on and on to over-describe countless scenes, most making no sense with the previous one. He skips from thought to thought taking the reader on a roller coaster ride as you try and keep track of the happenings.
At times I found myself wondering, what is he talking about? Many
paragraphs are long and sometimes run two or three thoughts together and you're left wondering, where did that come from?
This story does not flow well and is cluttered with numerous typos and repeated words and phrases. I doubt even another edit could help this story.
I'm afraid "The Man From Nowhere" is going nowhere fast. Too bad, the bases for this story seemed to have potential.
I cannot recommend this book.

Summary: Family, why do you lie?
Review: This Monologue account of his life takes us through a tangled web of deceit and murder. The worse part is the victim is his own mother and the murderer most likely part of his family. Through the help of corrupt officials the truth is buried deeper. Indifferent judges, and social workers they are forced to live a roaming life, losing fortune and homes, and eventually his own beloved wife, Donna. The book ends as he barely survives with his street job and still holds hopes that someday he will know the person who murdered his mother and find the extent of the estate and the depth to which the lies go.
