A Better Heart review

I have to admit that I was a bit leery entering into a read about a father and a son and a monkey, but this book rocks it! Perhaps because it is about a struggling, newbie filmmaker (of which I have been), I resonated immediately with Kevin Stacey. From page one I was into this book about an estranged father (a life-long supporting actor) who shows up at his son’s place unannounced, towing along a monkey and a new wife. When we find out the monkey is stolen and is wanted by the FBI, things really get rolling.
The writing is crisp and refreshing. Chuck Augello is one top of his game, and the words flow beautifully off the page. I even appreciated the time shift that happens a couple of times, and this time shift element is spot-0n. There’s mystery, suspense, humor, animosity, forgiveness, and renewal, along with some added cameos by noted celebrities. Wow – what fun.
When a book ends and you wish there was more – you want to spend more time with these people – you know it is a must-read. Pick up a copy today. You will not be disappointed.
