As I sit eating my cereal (Chex if you are wondering), I'm thinking about the book I most recently finished called To Write A Wrong by Mr. E. Mann. Well Mr. E. Mann is the "author" since this fictional story is an "autobiography", but the real author is my brother Eli Vlaisavljevich. Of course, I'm just a little biased based on my relationship with the author but I really enjoyed the story and I will do my best to explain why without giving away spoilers.
It seems to me that the main question the reader should ask themselves throughout the book is the following: can murder ever be motivated by love? The main character in this book would argue that it can and should be. He is a famous author who takes his writing a little too seriously (in my opinion) and who lives his life trying to make the world a better place. In his view, he is the ultimate humanitarian and philanthropist. This book reveals how he is inspired to write his novels and allows his fans to see his secret life. It also introduces you to the authors closest friends who also do not know his secrets.
The main struggle I had while reading was that I really liked the guy while simultaneously being really angry at him (well he is a murder...). The book posses many deep philosophical questions interspersed with plenty of plays on words and jokes so it's easy to read yet thought provoking. Overall, I found it very entertaining. I would like to write more details about my favorite parts but I'm afraid I'd end up introducing too many spoilers! I would definitely recommend that you check it out.
