Part 1 Update 2:
After reading two Chapters, I found myself on page 53 and getting bored—it seemed very male centric and seemed to be turning financial. I didn’t know if I was in the mood to read that genre.
I gave the Table of Contents a better look. “Oh this is a fake Novel”. So, I read Chapter three it was getting juicy with the family dynamics. I read Chapter three again and just finished Chapter four.

Part 2 Update 1:
My Life by Andrew Bevel
+Table of Contents +Preface.
This Andrew has a different last name.
I am confused and CURIOUS.
So, there you have it—Don’t consider DNF’ing until after Ch.3. 😳
PS I’ve done twice as much THINKING about this book as I have done reading. From now on… I am going to read and only update occasionally. I don’t wanna give spoilers.

Part 1 Update 4:
The novel BONDS was very Gatsby-ish.
As if Daisy and Gatsby married.
Good or bad?? You’ll have to read.

Part 1 update 4:
No Spoilers….
The more I think about it, Part 1 The Novel BONDS and the cover art (OZ) is to leading me think see the man behind the curtain, is Andrew and the curtain is the novel.
And now I sound wacky.
I didn’t know until after reading Chapter three, and an online search, that this book has 3 Narrators.
Reliable or Not. I do not know.
But TRUSTING ANDREW? I am not.
I could be wrong.🤪

Part 1 Update 3:
Have you read this book?
I am thinking this NOVEL is trying to make someone look like a better, more moral person than they really are.
🤔 hmmm!
Give me your take without spoiling.

Another book that I knew nothing about. The cover art reminds me of The Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz.

Smoking=a place for men to get ahead.
Solomon dad owned a place in Cuba, spent winters there and wife (smoked cigars in private) had never been there.
Benjamin raised by nurses & governess’. Parents died when he was about 18/19.
He hated smoking and the business.
