Songs For The New Depression by Kergan Edwards-stout


Title:  Songs For The New Depression
Publisher:  Circumspect Press
Publication Date:  2011
Pages:  252
ISBN: 9780983983705

This book touched me at the core of my being!  It gives a real look at what life is like with AIDS.  It is a story of love and devotion, and a self examination of a dying man.  It takes you inside of Gabes head and as you read, you suffer along with him and sometimes you laugh. You will find that his concerns are the same as your own.  I think that is why this story had such an emotional hold on me.  I'm not just talking about the disease and the suffering because of it.  I am talking about the path that each persons life takes them down. This book will have you examining your own conscious and the things you have and have not done in your life. Like another reviewer, I suggest that you keep a box of tissue handy because you will certainly need them. I am so glad that I read this because it has brought to mind things that I had not thought of before.  If you remember anything that I have said about this book, please remeber this; It is a story of love and devotion! I read this book in just a couple of days because I could not stop once I started reading.

    It sounds really good. It would probably hit home even more for me. My older son's name is Gabe. Great review, Charla! This was one of your read-a-thon books, right? And I saw that you finished another one too. You're rockin' the read-a-thon!

    I know you hosted a mini-challenge, but have you entered any yourself? I have the mid-week read-a-thon mini-challenge posted. All the links to mini-challenges/giveaways are listed below the read-a-thon banner just above the post section (below the slide show). Stop on by!

    Hope you keep enjoying the read-a-thon!
