Review: Praiseworthy - A book to reflect on once you have read it
Rating: 4 out of 5

While this is not a novel that was written to thrill or delight the reading audience, I found it to have many merits. Yes, it might be downcast in its views of life, and what it implies of the afterlife. Yet the author RA Faith (an odd coincidence of a name given the views it portrays of immortality) can clearly write, and this book is both well composed and put together.I would have liked for the author to expand the psychology of each character, to better understand their inner thoughts in the love triangle that develops, but this says more about me than the book, since I like books that explore the inner reflections of the characters. Instead we follow the main character through a series of rather unfortunate events, from his childhood to marriage and the friendships that follow.Some might find passages in the book rather melancholic. Yet there are sentiments in it that are praiseworthy, and cause you to reflect once you have completed the book. In this, I found the book to be quite rewardinging. Certainly a book to reflect on.
