Silent Cry

It has always been my opinion that if a book is good it should be able to transport the reader to another time and place. "A Silent Cry" by Mr. Lee did that for me. Uncomfortable at times while reading this, one walks briefly into a life of poverty, pain and rejection.Charles Lee's book is a slice of Americana - Black Americana, that I found hard to put down. With each page you feel the frustration and despair of Mr. Lee, only to watch him rise later to yet another challenge. And the way Mr. Lee understates the painful events of his life, one begins to understand why his is a "Silent Cry".

"A Silent Cry" really moved me. It is amazing how one can tell their memories of life, along with the trials and tribulations that one go through. I found this book to be interesting, since I, myself, had to go through a lot. Who would have thought that reading this book would heal some wounds. Now I know that I was not the only one who has been down a rough road of life. Charles Lee really told it like it was. I could hardly put the book down! I have recommended this book to several people. As a matter of fact, my copy is now missing from my library!

I was very impressed with a "Silent Cry" by Charles Lee. The book captivated me with it's depiction of Mr. Lee's life situations. It was also very motivating to see someone who was faced with so many obstacles throughout his life, but never gave in to defeat but rather arose to each battle that life dealt him. I particularly enjoyed chapter 7 when Mr. Lee finally meets his soul mate. It was enlightening to see love prevail in the end. I would definitely recommend a "Silent Cry" by Charles Lee to all of my friends and family.

I really enjoyed the book "Silent Cry" by Charles Lee. What I thought was interesting is that the writer was able to give my imagination the surrounding and the time in Era, (years, age,place) and description of the surrounding during his episodes. Also this writer was able to put details of his feelings, and his inner thoughts on paper, during his year growing up. I thought that most males, have a hard time expressing feelings, such as pain, failure, and incompatability with the opposite sex. I though feel that he isn't alone, with the way he was brought up. I think that as more people read this book, they will find apart of their lives being lived by this writer. I liked that even though he had a lot of negative obstacles and people in his life, (as we all did/do in our lives.) He was able to have positive people that were able to purge the negativity from his life. I am sure this book touches a lot of hearts, both his family and strangers. I can tell that Mr.Lee is a simple man, and was inspired to read this because we can get a hold of a lot of reading material on famous people, (president,movie stars,athlete,etc) negative lives, and people should that we all have in common negative energy (people/obstacles) that finds everyone no matter what colour or country you come from. In closing I want to say that Mr. Charles Lee, probably wrote a brief part of his life, as I am sure he has lived more since his closing of the book "Silent Cry" I do await part 2. Thank you for your time in reading my review. Sincerly, Joni
