I picked up this book out of sheer curiosity when I overheard a couple coworkers discussing it over lunch.  What captivated me about their conversation was the way they described the style in which the author, Aiden Riley, tells the story of the protagonist, Ray Ryan.  Ray Ryan is written in a way that it is as if he is simply telling the story to someone in a calming and gentle manner though his experiences and journey are quite the opposite, filled with emotion, turmoil, and challenges.Ray Ryan tells the story about a somewhat normal boy growing up in Nottingham with aspirations of becoming a writer.  His world starts to come crashing down around him when one day his when best friend makes some dangerous enemies and things really begin to change. Ray Ryan captures your attention and your heartstrings as he confronts the lighter and the darker sides of adulthood and experiences love, loss, joy, and sadness.I am giving this story five stars because it has all of the elements of a good book.  It draws you in from the start of the book and it keeps your attention throughout.  Each character is described and written in a way that you can feel their emotions and in some ways, relate to their experiences through your own life.  This is the type of book I looked forward to picking up the next day to continue reading. And, it is definitely a book a will read again in the future.  The author’s style of telling stories is amazing and I am confident you will enjoy not only the wonderful story, but the elegant and gentle way this story is portrayed.  I really hope the Aiden Riley continues writing.  You are a true talent!
