Book Reviews of The Monk's Son
Book Review: "The Monk's Son"
Summary: 5 Stars
"The Monk's Son", by W.R.Wilkerson III reads like a great film that wholly absorbs the viewer from the opening scene...where there is no separation between the viewer and, in this case, the reader and the story.
I felt as though I was a part of the narrative the entire time I read. And each time I opened the book the innocent excitement of entering another world awaited me.
Wilkerson's writing is more like an actual recollection of the life experiences of his characters rather than a story being told by a third person. He is clearly an author who experiences and observes life with an alarming attention to its most subtle components. The poignant development of his characters and the intricacies of detail sculpt compelling realities for the reader that are the result of a deep interior understanding of his subject.
"The Monk's Son" has that rare and perfect balance of expression and restraint. Wilkerson never gives the reader too much, always luring you into the next scene, the next moment.
There are so many gifts in this book, so many jewels to contemplate. From the pure literary prose to the psychological and spiritual wisdom of its revelations, it is a book that should be read aloud. I highly recommend it to anyone who wishes to return to the reality of classical storytelling, one that leaves you with impressions that you will be carrying with you long after you've finished the book.
