A Great Debut
Amos Lassen
"Let's Find You" is a first person look at Benjamin and the trials of his life. He leads an emotional life as we read about him from childhood until he reaches the edge of manhood. Divided into chapters, each of which is like a short story written in prose and poetry, the book is a lighthearted look at not such a lighthearted life. We are constantly reminded of our own childhoods. Benjamin's father is absent and
his mother is shows him little or no emotion.
Barbieri's writing is amazing as he gives us an emotional and dramatic story. I love Benjamin's relationship with his brothers and I felt very close to Benjamin himself. Benjamin and his brothers are forced to learn about life on their own and there always seems to be a crisis present and on the way. We are led into the heart of a teenage boy as he makes his way to becoming an adult and it is great fun. |
