It is blessed week for me and its God’s gift (Allah). Alhamdulillah, I can accomplish a novel “The Ultimate Life” within this week. The most valuable about a book is its potential to change our life especially reading the experience and imagination of others.
When I accomplished the second book from Jimm Stovall “The Ultimate Life”, generally, the content of the story was quite similar with the first book I have read “The Ultimate Gift”. This book really does not teach readers any new lessons on life. In fact, all of Red Stevens’ videotaped messages to his grandson are revisited word for word in The Ultimate Life. The question spinning on my head, why the novel was ended by the wedding married between Jason and Alexia?...it was so sudden.
However, a reader can only hope that the next in the series will not be retelling of The Ultimate Gift. While Stovall's message is meaningful; his writing is a bit on the cheesy side. It was easier to ignore that when reading The Ultimate Gift, which was original and moving. Once the reader realizes that The Ultimate Life is essentially the same story, the book will lose its value.
But it doesn’t mean that I regretted to read. On the other hand, it taught me the characters manifold of people and also I can pick up the vocabulary around chamber and its situation.
My suggestion for Jim Stovall, Please for the next series bring new lessons, new characters, and more realistic situations. I am waiting :) … for my friend @dah, you’re in charge to buy the next series from Jimm’s novel he he he… :)
