Kevin gave very good detail at just how bad his upbringing was, you seemed to be there with him when he was getting his beatings of his parents, especially his mother, who is a totally demented woman and should never have been allowed to have children, ever. I totally admire Kevin how he triumphed over a truly terrible start in life, no doubt he is still living with the painful memories of his past because there are just some things you can never forget but you can learn to live them, hence the reason he can never sit still now, and is always seeking out new knowledge in order to improve himself and make a truly great life for his family. My heart truly goes out to him and I only wish him and his family well for the future.Truly good read, you feel absorbed into the story from the very first page right through to the last page.

Kevin Lewis, The Kid: A True Story: Having a traumatic past and being drawn to true stories to see how others coped and made successful peaceful lives for themselves, this helped me feel passionate about life and my dreams again. And confirmed that I must write my own book as I've always wanted. Thank you Kevin. Look forward to his next novel.
