Customer Reviews

Truly Unique

In an amazing story of revelation via dream life, La Pietra details a set of circumstances which leads him deep into theory of his discovery of life. His interpretation brings a truly intriguing and thought provoking memoir filled with peculiar characters and passionate narrative. I commend the courageous and expressive manner in which the author relates his experiences. This book is an absolute must read, to any type of reader, as we have all contemplated our existence in this life.

New Vision

This remarkable memoir tells a challenging story - first of a childhood full of the horrors we like to think can't happen and then of a determined quest for personal identity. La Pietra deserves praise for the journey he is on and for sharing it with us.

Something for Everyone

What an interesting book! The author moves seamlessly from recounting real-life events to reflecting on society and the effects of dreams. Who among us has not woken from an amazing subconscious interaction to wonder what it all meant? I think that everyone who immerses themselves in this book will come away with a piece of it they relate to strongly. I applaud LaPietra for opening up his life and painful experiences for the reader to share and for turning that turmoil into thoughts and ideas that will make human society a better place to be.
