The Shadows of a Man is the most mind and Heart moving book that I have ever read it keeps me up at night, but I can't stop reading it and thinking about what's is to happen next when i turn the pages. it is so deep with truth that it can change someone's life I thank God for this book and I pray that I hope that helps someone else like it has helped me

This was an ARC provided to me by Netgalley.

The book was pretty good. I had some personal issues with the author switching up past and present tense throughout the story in the same sentence. Otherwise I would read more from this author

The most disturbing thing about this book is that it's an autobiography. Sexual, physical and mental abuse, violence, addiction, neglect, betrayal… A life nobody wants to imagine and most of us can't even imagine.
It's a very long tale of a quite short life up to the end of this book.
Again and again James mentions his faith in God, but circumstances and his upbringing won't allow any real change. I can only hope that we'll see this change in his next book.
Under this circumstances it's amazing how strong the bond is with his family. I was speechless how James still loves his mother more than anything after everything she did to him.
His brutal honesty is admirable.

I'm aware that the copy I got is unedited, but I had to get used to overlooking the many grammatical mistakes, some inconsistencies and the unknown slang. The book could use some shortening, though.

This book is very interesting it keeps you on edge guessing what will happen next. Knowing the author and trying to figure out who the people he’s talking about is what did it for. This book really had me thinking. The things and places in this book brought back a lot of memories for me. Thanks James Sellers can’t wait to read what you got coming next
