Sometimes you read a book just for simple pleasure of reading to pass the time with a good story. Sometimes you read a book whose words sing to you from the page.
I did not know what to expect before reading Between Enzo and the Universe and this is m Sometimes you read a book just for simple pleasure of reading to pass the time with a good story. Sometimes you read a book whose words sing to you from the page.
I did not know what to expect before reading Between Enzo and the Universe and this is my first book by Chase Connor; I can’t wait to read more from this talented author.
You know when you have just read a well written book, because the characters speak to you for days afterwards. The book touches on many themes: identity, acceptance, equality, faith and grief. It is written in both the past and the present, as we journey with Enzo, through the memories of his life, his beliefs, his happiness, his grief. But we are only really with him in the present for one day: one short day which will change his life forever; a culmination of every other moment leading up to this stunning crescendo.
The depth of this book grows, in layers, the further you read, leading to a beautifully written climax which offers both heartbreak and immense hope. Some of the latter prose is heart wrenching, yet interspersed with the realism of superbly crafted dialogue. The themes of discrimination against disability and race are dealt with the delicacy and tenderness of a brother who loves unconditionally, but with the power to smack the reader with the indignity of their ill treatment. The themes of faith are explored in a way that will make the reader reflect on our place in the universe, regardless of our beliefs. This author has a tremendous gift in written prose and the conversations between Enzo and Peter are touching and tender, humorous and witty, flirtatious and sexy. It is a book which doesn’t discriminate – it treats all its readers as equals, regardless of the coat on our back.
But most of all, interspersed with the story of processing unimaginable grief, is the story of how one act of unconditional kindness, one split second can change a life forever. It is a story of a man with nothing left, who finds he has everything he ever wanted and all to live for.
Peter teaches Enzo, as the book teaches us, to live our lives. We must revel in the freedom of our minds and be true to ourselves and others.
In these troubled times, never have the themes of this book been more relevant, more needed. To love, cherish, taste, touch, see, feel, think, live for ourselves… and no longer roll over and close our eyes to what we do not wish to see.
We must no longer exist – we must truly live. I cannot recommend this book more highly. ...more
