True confession: Throughout my life I've read prose, not poetry. But these free-verse tales, these moments taken from the life of two brothers, have moved me and touched my heart beyond what I could have imagined. My personal favorites? "Blood Brothers," "Bulldozers," "Fulfilled," "Bottle It Up," and "End to End." I recommend this book to anyone who has ever lived (how's that for a demographic group?), for the Czuchry brothers know how to put into words what you've been through, in a way that will make you treasure your life even more.

I must admit that poetry is generally not my flavor when sitting down for a read. However, a friend recommended that I give this a look and so I did. To say that I was presently surprised would be a tremedous understatement. What I found was a very special perspective on life, love, family, youth and the power of a truely connected sibling relationship. Many times I found myself lost in the words of the authors' so deeply. The imagery had such power in certain instances that I had to stop reading for a moment because the memories of my own life kept seeping in so vividly. If you're looking for something unique and a book that will make you remember such poignant moments from your childhood and your current experiences, "Brothers on Life" will quench your thirst. Just beautiful.

Brothers on Life was an excellent read. It was so heartwarming and poignant. This is not the type of book that I normally read, but decided to give it a try as I am a fan of Matt Czuchry and his work. This collection of stories truly made me want to meet him in person. He and his brother touched my heart by their words and also gave me the motivation to make some changes in my life. I know that seems like a tall order for a book, but it was so truthful and dare I say, real! Here are a couple of my favorite parts:
CELEBRATE
"Because of you
I danced in the dark
I laughed deeper
I loved like no other
For we are greatest in the moments that take our breath away
And any breath in between is just living"
BULLDOZERS
"Inevitably we grow
Does that mean the magic has to slip through our fingers
To be chased away and lost forever"
UNRAVELING MYSTERIES
"The mind is capable of anything
Creating miracles
Unraveling mysteries
Outliving diagnoses
Making dreams come true
Yet most days
We are scared of the mind's possibilities
And remain bound to the expected
I have now read this book several times and love to read a few pages before bed each night.
