Famous ! by Riano D. McFarland | Book review

Book review:

 "Famous" is a compelling and insightful read that provides a fresh and introspective take on the nature of fame and its impact on our lives. It is an engrossing and fascinating story of  Alexander Myles as he sets on a journey of self discovery.

Alexander Myles is an installer for a company, whose main goal and dream in life is to get famous. Alexander Myles never had a long term goal in his life nor he knew what success meant to him.While his siblings have achieved great qualifications in life, Alexander always remained an underachiever. Finally, Alex has a realisation what his true dream in life is ... to be famous. 

However, as his father passes away and the ownership of his father's car is passed on to him, he comes to know secrets about his father's past. As he sets out in search of his destiny, driving the 1968 Chevy Impala he inherited from his father, he discovers things about his father he had never knew. Soon the journey becomes a journey of self discovery and discovery of his true dreams.

As he sets out on his quest, the car reveals a mysterious history, adding an intriguing layer to the narrative. This subplot adds depth to the story and keeps readers engaged, as they uncover the secrets surrounding the car alongside Alexander. The story predicts the true meaning of famous and how a parent sacrificed a lot to cope up with needs of showing normalcy to their kids. A lot of inspiration is imparted through his journey.

Quote from the book that piqued me a lot:

💗“Work hard and with a purpose; be humble, especially in victory; be honest even if it lands you in hot water; respect everyone without exception until they give you a reason not to; and finally, define your dreams as early in life as possible, so you actually have the time to achieve and enjoy them.”

 Through well-developed characters, an intriguing plot, and themes of ambition, love, and adversity, Riano D. McFarland delivers a thought-provoking narrative that keeps readers engrossed from start to finish. His unique way of teaching the hidden meaning of famous through the journey of Alex is outstanding. Narration of the storyline is vividly done.

Overall, Famous is a captivating and thought provoking read to revisualise the manner one quest his journey of being famous. The prose is engaging and the pacing is well-maintained, propelling the story forward and building anticipation. I highly recommend "Famous" to anyone seeking an engaging and thought-provoking literary experience.
