A book written by an author starting to write, this book is very inspiring. An elderly gentleman living in England as one of the most amazing opportunities any one can. He has the opportunity to speak to great historical figures every week and glean from the lessons those individuals learned from their many different backgrounds and stories. He learns about principles like love, courage,
faith, and forgiveness.There were a lot of things that I really enjoyed from this book. First of all, there are some of the historical figures that I had didn't know about. It was very enlightening to learn of them and their stories...to learn of how their stories helped shape their views on life about those different principles (i.e. love, forgiveness). I also enjoyed the character development of not only the elderly gentleman but also of his little granddaughter. I believe she adds a lot to the story when she is introduced. She also helps add to the development of the elderly gentleman. Another thing I greatly enjoyed was
One thing that wasn't good about it was some grammatical errors, but it does not take away from the overall message. Plus, there was some language that didn't necessarily fit with the time these dinner parties occurred. Otherwise I really enjoyed this book. The negative things did not detract from the feeling and experience of the overall story and the principles learned by some of the most influential figures from Earth's history.
So after reading the book and writing this review I wholeheartedly give it a 4.5-star rating out of 5 for it's inspiring lessons and overall great plot.
I was asked to read this book and write a review by the author. The book can be found in ebook format at Amazon.com. Here is the link: Dinner Party
The goodreads.com summary for this book is:
Great people from history come to help Mr. Parker write the first part of the Eulogy for the World. Not that we are at the end of time, but it is time to write about how far we have come.
