Thought Provoking

I really liked little Eddy Brown from the very first pages of his book. I bet he was a joy to his mother. This book shares with the reader a glimpse of what is going on inside the head of a youngster, as he tries to make sense of the world around him, and then it chronicles through parts of his life as he grows, struggles, and matures. The victory contained within the pages of his book is that he did survive, and the rest of us are better for it.

Inspiring and wonderfully engaging---Living to Tell

Living to Tell: Collected Memoirs by Eddy Douglas Brown is an engagingaccount of the life of a maturing manchild whose experiences proved tobe a journey filled with uncertainties and confusion. This is abrilliantly written memoir that embraces the reader in a mostmysterious way. I yearned to follow the author from page to page as acurious observer. This journey is sometimes humorous and sometimesseriously thought provoking as the author makes choices that aresuspect to his upbringing. The struggle for the author is to makesense of senseless circumstances as the journey takes the manchildinto manhood. I enjoyed reading and rereading this book. The authoris a wonderfully inspiring writer. This is a "must read"memoir. I suggest this book as a gift to anyone that reads forcomplete pleasure.

One Man's Journey

I will readily admit that I am as curious as the next fellow when given the opportunity of a glimpse into someone else's very private world; with ease and graciousness, this author accomplishes that, drawing you into memories of life's private moments that are at times endearing, laugh-out-loud-funny, and sadly tragic. Reading this autobiography made me feel as though I was spending time with a dear friend, engrossed in his stories. At the end of each chapter, I rushed toward the next, wanting to know more about this boy who became a man, his experiences and those that shared the journey with him. Hopefully, this is just the "tip of the iceberg" of works to be produced by this author--if you're like me, this one will move you, touch you in many ways, and leave you wanting for more.
