A two-sided tale that is captivating and inspirational on a unique level that will engulf the mind with vivid imagery.In short this is a book about the life a blues musician named David Threnody. Author Jason Akely first describes sets the stage describing and telling the story of David's parents. Then he focuses in more on David's own life and how he made it on the music scene in New Orleans. It was a slow arduous process for David and the descriptions pertaining to the trials and challenges he faced along the way is what truly captivated my attention and imagination.Author Jason Akley did a wonderful job with his descriptiveness that I felt painted wonderful imagery throughout the book. It was as if I was walking next to David Threnody the entire time. While this book is exceptionally well written and flows perfectly, I did feel it was a little to long. Some of the moments could have been summed up in a quicker fashion that could have made for a shorter read. Be that as it may, this is an absolutely compelling story that delivers a deeper message that all should read and learn from. Despite the challenges that one faces throughout life you should always have the perseverance to push forward and never give up until you reach your dream.Words to describe this book are: Compelling, Original, Unique, Fun, and Descriptive in a well-written book that surly captivate your imagination.4 Stars
