With all due respect, this book should have been a big hit. A father caught in the World Trade Center on 9/11/01, and his son ends us supervising (in prison) some of the terrorists who were involved in the attack. The only problem is with the descriptive language employed by the author. He comes across with messianic fervor, as if the fate of civilization rests upon the message he is trying to convey. It makes the whole book come across as self-absorbed, sanctimonious bilge. If Mr. Tulepan wishes to have a future in writing, a good editor who would tone him back some would be an absolute must.

Craig S. Tulepan is an ordinary man, no different from thousands of other men who populate the face of the earth. He gets up in the morning, puts his pants on one leg at a time, and off to work he goes. Yes, just an ordinary man going about life's daily challenges. Why then should we want to read his story?

You will have to read `SOUL 2 SOUL, A Lifetime of Loving My Son' to find out the answer to that question. I couldn't put it down. It haunted me when I had to put that bookmarker between the pages and go on about my daily life. His words flowed like silk, ran like melting butter dripping across the pages, like poetry in motion - sometimes bitingly sarcastic with a dry wit that left you rolling in the aisles with laughter - and yet sometimes with a feeling so pure and emotional that you found tears slowly dripping down your face and onto the pages of the book.

Yes, Craig S. Tulepan is just an ordinary man, no different than thousands of others - but his story is definitely not ordinary. `SOUL 2 SOUL, A Lifetime of Loving My Son' is an extraordinary book. It is the story of the author, Craig S. Tulepan - a unique look not only into his life but a peek through the windows of his soul. It is very rare indeed for someone to let us into their most private thoughts but that is, without a doubt, what Craig has done with his novel, SOUL 2 SOUL. His words go straight to the heart, making you take a look inside yourself and the world around you - and you will never view yourself or your world in the same light again after you finish reading SOUL 2 SOUL.

Craig, my hat is off to you for having the courage to tell your story in your very own special way, to share your pearls of wisdom with the world, to make us look deep inside ourselves - and hopefully make us all wake up to the endless possibilities that come with living our lives - and make us realize that there is indeed a silver lining to every cloud if we will only just look for it...
