Join twin brothers Vincent and Christian as the embark on a final road trip together. Over the course of their five journey, they travels from the beaches of New Hampshire to Fenway Park, along Interstate 95, down to their mother's house in Maryland. Along the way, the young men are faced with inner demons, doubts, and questions. Together, not only the brothers find common ground, respect, and love, but discover a new appreciation for life itself.
Jonathan Kuiper spends most of his days teaching and motivating students. When not at school, he can be seen out for a run or working on his next novel.
"Running with Vince" is a book written with wit and originality and a twist on the end. It is an easy read full of funny stories. It is the story of two twin brothers on the last trip together. But is it really?
When a young man looses his antithetical twin, re-evaluation of relationships and recognition of the precarious life time one has on earth is explored in a well told tale. A spiritual experience to read - with prose worthy of comparison to velvet-handed philosophers, Jonathan Kuiper speaks with much humility.
"Running with Vince" proved itself to be the kind of novel whose every word I drank like a novel of D.H. Lawrence or poetry of Robinson Jeffers. A work of art!
I highly recommend this book to anyone with a soul.
This book is spot on in showing how troubles and hardships allow individuals to work together and find respect for not only themselves but the task at hand. This author did an amazing job in showing that hard work pays off, and that when in a tough situation faith in themselves can lead lead to life changing experiences. Deffinetly a must read for anyone about to embark on a challenging adventure.
This book offers a fresh, unique look into the lives of brothers taking their last trip together in "life". It uniquely portrays the close relationship between siblings, but shows the differences that are interwoven in a relationship between brothers. Kuiper uses a fresh, light writing style depicting deep ideas. Sink into a comfy chair and enjoy this story that anyone can relate to!
This book was an easy, fun and all around interesting read. It hit some personal levels within myself and really helped me personally with the death of my brother who has been close to me. It hooked me from day one and I was unable to put it down until I finished it.
