Book Review: Chasing The Rabbit By Jerry A. Greenberg
In this book, we're introduced to Robert Granger, a successful figure in the corporate world with a thriving career. He possesses the qualities that make him an ideal role model: a desirable man, admired by both men and women and a source of inspiration for the younger generation. Bob is the complete package with his good looks, physique, and intelligence.
Furthermore, he is a devoted family man, married to the stunning Elaine, and blessed with two children, Sam and Emily. Bob's life seems to be on the right track, as he thrives in the corporate jungle, acting as the predator he is. However, fate takes an unexpected turn as Bob finds himself shifting from attack mode to defense mode, confronting his greatest fear – the uncertainty of the future.
Jerry A. Greenberg has once again demonstrated his remarkable storytelling abilities. I'm particularly enamored with his boundless imagination and his skill in crafting fiction that feels more genuine and resonates with readers more profoundly than reality itself. The rabbit dreams in the story, in particular, caught my attention and served as a thought-provoking wake-up call.
Imagining how tormenting it must have been for a man like Bob, incapacitated in a hospital, haunted by a taunting rabbit, and trapped in a seemingly inescapable dead-end, was both unsettling and empathetic. It presented a valley of emotions encompassing anxiety, depression, confusion, vulnerability, and fear. Without his identity as a predator and his purpose as a hunter, what was left of Bob?
领英推荐
Despite the book's numerous grammatical and spelling errors, such as typos, misplaced commas, uncapitalized periods, and improper use of capitalization, it's evident that the book received professional editing, and the words are eloquently constructed.
In terms of a rating, I would give this book three out of four stars. The reason for not granting a higher rating is the significant number of errors encountered during the reading. Furthermore, while the book addresses genuine life concerns, it lacks the magnetic pull that captivates readers and compels them to read it immediately and finish it. It seems to be missing that gripping allure. After all, we are all, in one way or another, chasing our own rabbits.
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes, I certainly would. I believe many of us can relate to or are going through situations similar to Bob's. This book offers a unique perspective and reassurance that the confusion and challenges of life are not unique to us alone. It serves as an educational and insightful read. The most valuable lesson I derived from it is the detrimental impact of fearing the unknown in our lives, particularly in this increasingly bewildering world we inhabit.
