BOOK REVIEW
[Growing Up Amish] A young Amish boy grapples with his future.
//
WHAT I LIKED
Life is grey area. Humans learn as much from mistakes as triumphs. Ira Wagler is quick to pinpoint his own mistakes throughout his coming of age journey. Born in an Amish colony yet curious of the outside world, Wagler must find himself while his family pushes “himself” to be in a small box of their choosing. They do it out of love. They want him to be saved. Wagler grapples with these heartfelt reflections in a conversational tone. The is importance in family, but also importance in finding yourself - which one is stronger?
//
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE
Wagler uses lots of short sentences to create a conversational tone. I appreciated the conversation, but some chapters had too many ‘dun dun dun’ short sentence structures for my taste.
//
I look forward to picking up his sequel in May!
