I was recently asked to read and review Paul Huljich’s ‘Betrayal of Love and Freedom’. I read it. Here’s my review:

The book contains three parts—some of it fiction and some it true. Paul Huljich begins the book with the tale of Luke Powers, a fictional character who endures a great deal of tragedy at a young age. I was drawn into the story within the first couple of chapters and could barely wait until the end to see how his saga turned out.

By the end of the first section, I was very disappointed. I felt like the story ended too soon and I wanted to know more. I just wanted more. I started reading into part two but was still caught up in the ideas of what happened to Luke. I was seriously considering sending an email to the author asking him to write a second book continuing the story. I was thrilled to find out that it continued in part three and I was very tempted to skip part two and move on to the rest of Luke’s story. I didn’t. I continued with part two and I was glad I did. Huljich’s personal experiences were eye-opening. It’s scary at first. I have never been hospitalized and gaining an understanding of what it feels like to have your freedom taken from you—well, it’s scary.

His determination and strength is encouraging. The outcome of his experiences is simply amazing. I walked away from reading the book with hope. I applaud Paul for his honesty and I commend him for sharing things so personal that it brings tears to your eyes. If you have bipolar disorder, you will undoubtedly find yourself recognizing some of your own symptoms. You will feel a connection.

Part three—well I’m still not satisfied. It’s not because Huljich didn’t do a great job—it’s because he did too good of a job. I was sad it was over. Great job, Paul. I would certainly read more of your work.

If you are interested in getting wrapped up in a book, ‘Betrayal of Love and Freedom’ will draw you in. I will warn you that parts of the book are graphic and it certainly isn’t for children. Some may be offended or put off by this and I am warning you in advance.
