Broken People, by Scott Hildreth continues to get reviews that come in, at the rate of a few a day. They are all (5) star, except 3. Total, there are 32 five star reviews, and 3 (4) star.
Yesterdays review by 1Booklover was great. 5 stars. She stated that she was afraid that she couldn't even do the book justice in her review. She stated that it was a "Must read" for parents and teens alike.
A must read. That, of course, means that it is their recommendation that you "must" read it.
This book was written with the intent of any age (above 14) being able to read it and have it effect them. It actually crawls within you, and flows through your veins like an infection. The characters are all real, raw, and full of life. The book is written from the perspective of the five characters, individually, in first person. The story unfolds, and the each character's life is somehow tied to the other. In the end, they are all tied together.
This book is similar to Thirteen Reasons Why meets The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
Be an adult, or be a teen...or anything in between, you will leave this book a different person. A richer person. It will, at minimum, leave you thinking about who you are, and what got you to this point in life. Additionally, it will have you second guessing what it is that you intend to do with the rest of your life.
If you are a parent of a teenagers, or have children in high school, you must read this book. You must. It will change the way you look at them. When you're done, have them read it.
You will be forever grateful you did.
Scott Hildreth, author of Broken People
