Broken Vision

by Horacio Jones

Welcome to the FIRST book written by Horacio Jones. If you find yourself questioning the purpose of the heartache that finds you, look at the way you allow people to love you. This vision does not exclude self-accountability. More often than not, truths expose just as much about ourselves because we are responsible for what we tolerate and how we react. Move from the cloud of defensiveness and be receptive to the idea that you enabled bad behavior by being faithful to it. We all have habits of romanticizing the time in an effort to negate the inconsistent love. Most of us fall into the safety net of familiarity in fear that the freedom of real love does not exist. This is self-entrapment, but love is emancipating. Horacio surrenders his own experiences as a reminder of our common ground then proceeds to release us to where we hope to be. The discomfort that you may feel is the process of being removed from your comfort zone, so you may experience the newness that you were blocking all along. If you want to do some soul searching, or to hear something you already know, but needed confirmation that you weren't going crazy, and that more people than you think, relate to your situation, then this book is for you. Broken Vision is just observations, experiences, clarity, and reality. And I believe that no matter who you are or what background you have, there is something in this book that will resonate with you and leave you “thirsty” to read more.

Repetitive, one-sided and generally boring.

A poorly written think piece. I stumbled across the author's Instagram page and decided to read his book because I admire independent writers. But this is a waste of time and money. The poems are baseless and don't really fit in with the text, and the same goes for the quotes - all of which are from Horacio Jones, FYI (he sure drives that point home). And a copy editor or proofreader was necessary.

I don't need the advice in the book, but know many who do, so I understand that the author has an audience who appreciates his literary style, but 150+ pages of Instagram caption-style advice doesn't cut it.

I was kinda disappointed in this book. After finding a quote I really liked by Horacio Jones, I purchased this book and was super excited to read it. However, I was quickly let down. From the beginning there were multiple spelling errors and things just worded oddly. While it may have opened my eyes up a little to how things I do may affect others, it was very one-sided and repetitive. I've also never seen an author put their name in a book so many times. I wouldn't recommend spending money on it.

Loved the quotes after seeing many on Instagram-- but the book is repetitive and clearly written by someone who was cheated on. Are there pieces of advice that are helpful to anyone going through a breakup-- yes. But there are many errors and the writing is a bit run on at times. The fact he signs his name in the book he writes as to attribute the quotes to himself gets tiresome. Read it. Or don't. I'd just go read the snippets on Instagram and save the money.

Great read!

This book provided great insight on relationships from a personal perspective. If anyone has questions regarding a relationship that they are or were in, this book will help them.
