Summary:
Leo Meurso, a gangster double-crosses dangerous man that he should have not meddled with in the wrong way. Knowing his death is imminent, he returns to his home town after 20 years to make his peace. In a series of events he meets the town fool, old friends and enemies, crashes the wedding of his ex-girlfriend and much more.
What will end first, life or purpose?

Review:
The best thing about this book, in my opinion, is the metaphor the author has so tastefully used. I have had immense pleasure reading the story of a character who is highly observant about the things around him, yet is totally indifferent to the circumstances he is in. This creates a tension that takes the reader along in search of its resolution. The author is also exceptionally good at introducing new characters organically. At some point, the reader may feel that the situation the book currently is lingering for a long time. Though it doesn’t hurt the narrative flow, it might be better if some of the more minor details were not dwelt upon as much. But I would say that this does not apply to the description of the surroundings. The author has lucidly written them and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. The small-town setting of the book has made it extremely attractive which has been a new experience for me in the form of a book.

My opinion: Great Book. Do read it...

Series Discussion #1 - Rick and Morty S3 Ep7: The Ricklantis Mixup

Good Day Rick and Morty S3 Ep7: The Ricklantis Mixup No book review this week. I got super lazy this week and read very few pages of "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. It is very interesting but somehow I am not able to commit or motivate myself to read. So, here we are with a brand new segment of Series Discussion. This way I can write a blog and mooch on other people's content. I have been wanting to do this for a very long time almost like a year. 🚨!!Spoilers Ahead!!🚨 The Ricklantis Mixup is by far my most favorite Rick and Morty episode. In 22 minutes, they achieved what a 2-hour or 3-hour movie may not do. In my opinion, it is one of the darkest episodes that I have seen and at the same time is very robust in making a political reality that skews towards our present-day society. BTW, Evil Morty is back babyyyy and now he becomes the president of Citadel of Rick which opens up the gates for more awesome episodes in the future. J...
