Bookreview: Incremental Courage

 "What a fantastic memoir"


Summary


In this work, the author shares a number of challenging situations and experiences 
that almost broke him at an early age. To move forward, he had to lean on his faith,
unlearn some stuff, consider a new perspective, be vulnerable and develop the
courage to confront and slay his demons. 







My review

I'm very sorry the reading and reviewing process took a while but what an amazing
book. I absolutely liked it, although it sometimes was shocking. 

It's more than a memoir and it brought a lots of mixed feelings in me. However I
really want to thank the author for sharing his experiences with us -the readers.

I would recommend this book to all readers who love a fantastic memoir!

Without any doubt I want to gave a 5 star rating to this wonderful book!

My Review


I enjoyed the book very much although due to the details it took a while
to read it all.

It's a very well written science fiction book with a great storytelling and
fantastic characters. However the book has lots of details.

The title named after the protagonist is well chosen. 

I certainly would recommend this interesting book too all people who
love a good science fiction story. 

Due to the details I give it a 4 star rating. I'm looking forward to the
sequel of this book.
