Here's a very thoughtful review of Just the Truth posted on Goodreads by Patrick T. Peterson. I love how he grasps the essential issues of the book and points out the timeliness of what I wrote to the disturbing trends that are actually going on today in our streets. He also mentions the optimism; I wanted to leave the readers with hope.
Review of Just the Truth by Patrick Peterson on Goodreads:
Just finished this last night on a tear - Wow!
So timely. - Presidential elections, free speech, demonstrations/vandalism/mobs, etc.
So full of reasonable optimism. - Easy to get depressed these days due to so much bad news. This book is a good antidote.
Great ideas and analysis of important issues. - Descriptions of bogus and destructive but popular ideas and convincing and short refutations abound.
Characters that ring true - good and bad - some bigger than life to look up to or down on, but also some about exactly as mediocre (morally) as one often sees in real life.
This is the latest book by Gen LaGreca, who's other books:
Nobel Vision
A Dream of Daring
Fugitive from Asteron
I have really enjoyed and have reviewed on GR.
Here are a few quotations to show you how timely the book is:
"The Advocates for Peace and Democracy held a demonstration yesterday in Atlanta that got a little out of hand.” “I’ll say. Ten people hospitalized, dozens of stores looted, police cars overturned, and a fire set in a shopping mall. Very few of the rioters and thugs were arrested, and they promise another round of street fighting tonight.”
"What would Laura think of me if I equated the police with the rioters? But reluctant to challenge his new boss, Sean conceded."
