What is good and what is evil? What is moral and what is immoral? "A Confession"walks the fine line between these arbitrary descriptions, while taking us through the memories of an unnamed narrator, a man who, while having lived a life of confident righteousness, now questions the very fiber of what he is made. How far is he willing to go to clear his conscience? And what if seeking absolution means destroying the entire world of the people around him? It's a dilemma that many of us have come or will come across in our lives, that will make more logical sense as the story progresses. Will our narrator make decisions based on emotion or logic? While the combination of the two is very powerful, individually they both just pale in comparison.Which route will he take in his journey? This exciting philosophical fiction book promises to leave both the narrator and reader baffled and questioning if indeed any of us can claim to be truly good. This is the kind of enthralling book that you'll have to take a few days off work to finish all at once! No library descriptions found. |

That's the question, more like theme or mantra throughout this book. William F. Aicher shares with the reader a series of life's mistakes, both intentional and unintentional. You get to decide for yourself, as he shares with you all he's done. A confession, so to speak.
This book speaks to the reader, allowing them to reevaluate themselves as the author does the same. He shares things that made you wonder: What the heck he was thinking, but also allows you to ponder how the situation would play out if YOU were in the same situation. I loved the way he wrote, heart-felt, yet I could easily see him pointing at me saying, "Don't you judge me- I'm just like you!" It was great.
Sharing things like love, sex, drugs and more, Aicher gives you a broad view of his fictional self (or real, I do not know) and you get to see you in the process. A read you'd enjoy!
