This review is from: Journey (Paperback)

What you'll be getting your hands on when you buy Robert Amaroso's book, "Journey," is nothing less than one man's heroic journey into the depths of his own soul. And, from his own soul he speaks to ours as well. His journey's not all that pretty! but, then, whose soul is without its bumps and scrapes? What it is, though, is human -- warts and all!

Encapsulated from the rest of the world though his own self-imposed isolation, his room -- this hovel that he chooses to live in -- becomes a symbol, becomes the microcosm of his entire life up to that point. Nothing in this room works right, just as nothing in his life is working right: There are windows that resist opening, rusty pipes that squirt out coppery water, the telephone that keeps ringing, with no one on the other end. Add to that, a blustery thunder and lightning storm that, psychologically, forces him more into himself. And, what about that blur of movement to his side, and just outside his field of vision? You'll keep reading. I know you will. And, I promise you an ending worthy of inclusion in the Twilight Zone. Good job, Mr. Amaroso...

5.0 out of 5 stars A poet, and doesn't know it..., March 11, 2004

This review is from: Journey (Paperback)

I read Robert Amoroso's novel "Journey" in one sitting and felt filled with a peaceful spirit upon completion. This admitted based on the author's life work reminds me of a lengthy poem, and reads like one, as well. Is this good? I think so. Poetic license runs rampant with writing style and writer's expression. The feelings of a life in the toilet waiting for the final flush prevail until a twist and turn of events takes the reader in a new direction. EXCELLENT!

5.0 out of 5 stars JOURNEY, March 21, 2003

By 

Dennis Royer (PA-Author of Perry County mystery series) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Journey (Paperback)

A second chance at life - how many of us are fortunate enough to get one? JOURNEY is an intimate look into the life and mind of main character, Bob Amato, as he seeks to rebound from a self imposed purgatory of despair.

This enjoyable read is cleverly crafted with a richly textured narrative that easily builds empathy between the reader and the characters. Especially moving are the scenes depicting Amato's relationship with his family and the influence they exert on his life.

Bob Amato is endearing. Despite his flaws, I wanted him to win, and ultimately I admired the courage of his final choice.

Robert Amoroso's, JOURNEY - a message about life and family that speaks to us all.
