Book Review
The book Brother I’m Dying by Edwidge Danticat, is a remarkable book about family love, loss, and exile, as this family struggles to stay alive and to stay together. As they move from Haiti to America in order to escape a horrible political situation that has now made Haiti; their home, unsafe for them to live their lives there any longer. As they begin to make their journey to America, they struggle to try to stay together, but when their family starts to split apart their plan takes a turn for the worst. Now their plan risks not only them losing each other but also jeopardizes them losing themselves and who they are. The only thing left holding them together is the love that they all share for one another.
I think this was a thrilling and life-changing book just to see the human minds will to strive no matter what at its best was truly breathtaking. I believe that this is a very easy book to enjoy for all. It has drama, love, passion, thrills and chills. This book will keep you on your toes and on the edge of your seat. It is suspenseful, like when Edwidges’ uncle Joseph is seconds from death from his pulmonary fibrosis. Or the passion and love they share like when they must split up in order to get to America, yet they wait and still find each other and reunite stronger than ever. They had such passion for each other that no matter how large or how difficult the obstacle they never gave up and they never gave in.
I enjoyed the plot of this book and how it starts off with a BAM, someone is pregnant and someone is dying. Instantly you’re sucked into the book like if you woke up in the mall in the middle of a free for all sales at Christmas Eve. It goes little by little, you are fed something juicy, but just enough to get you by and then when it starts to slow and fade it gives you a little more. Therefore, you don’t really expect what’s going to happen next or you’ll predict something and it will end up being something you didn’t even expect. So it keeps you guessing and keeps you on your toes.
I think that overall this book is one that I recommend to all who love to read. This novel is filled to its limits with everything one solitary book is capable of obtaining. It has a fascinating and life-changing story on how much everyone is capable of succeeding and how far everyone is able to go as long as they are willing to put forth the effort. Nothing in life worth having comes easy if you are willing to fight for what you want in time you will be rewarded.
