Charles James, formerly Charles Gonzalez, charged out to set the world on fire. A once-in-a-lifetime offer was made to him. One he could refuse. It was finally time to grab the brass ring. All he had to do was reach out and grab it. He'd been held back his whole life. He already knew all too well who he didn't want to be. Charles was not satisfied with what life had handed him.

Better yet, what his life had been doing to him, not for him. Nothing, so it seemed. It certainly wasn't giving him the financial success that he so greatly desired - so greatly needed, so he thought. Even though he found the love of his life, it hadn't been enough. Later, he was to discover that everything came with a price tag attached.
Actually, it was a nightmare. He woke up in cold sweats. He thought, "Was this a vision of things to come? When we sleep, we dream. Can any of our dreams be prophetic? We can only wonder. I'll leave you with this final thought: He had asked a soldier on guard, "who was the deceased?

This too is a narrative about a dream, perhaps, a nightmare come true. One, you won't want to miss. View all 19 comments. What is the definition of success? What happens when priorities get skewed? What would you change if you could start from scratch again? Richard Paul Evans 's storytelling allows this life lesson to feel fresh again, at least it did for me. But this particular character's story is very familiar to the men in my family so I felt incredibly invested and engaged I knew this was a trilogy though, right?

Evans' other collections, Broken Road isn't a collection of standalones. It's a continuation, and one that I will be following. I really enjoyed this gem. Today the only difference between fiction and news is that fiction, to be accepted, has to have a basis in reality. The way in which he expresses complex, uncomfortable truths with gentle economy and compassion, about life and humanity - good, bad, or ugly, is simply amazing. View all 6 comments. Another fabulous book by Richard Paul Evans, with a message of redemption and second chances. Charles James has reached the pinnacle of success.
He appears to have it all, wealth, status and power. But was he happy? Having turned his back on God as a child, he became his own"God", caring little who he stepped on in his rise to prosperity.
Charles grew up poor, bullied, suffering abuse at the hands of his father and spent his mornings "dumpster diving". He was hungry for a better life. As Charles Another fabulous book by Richard Paul Evans, with a message of redemption and second chances. As Charles explores his journey he begins to recognize what truly is important, what brings enrichment to his life and jumps at the chance for a fresh start. Can't wait for the second installment. I loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter. A few of my favorites: There is real power in having nothing to lose.

The Broken Road is unique because it deals honestly with personal faith in God in a contemporary setting. Other movies like Ben Hur for example do so but in an ancient context. Travelling mostly on foot, in leather jacket, knee breeches and puttees, with backpack, Hungarian walking stick and "uncompromising" boots, carrying two books of verse in the backpack and a head full of literature and history, he has his fair share of luck and adventure in a continent that was still a mystery.
There are nights in shepherds' huts, down-at-heel hotels, palaces, and a brothel he mistook for an inn.
God Bless the Broken Road
And while his older self clearly enjoyed writing about the nights of revelry around campfires with belly-dancing Greek fishermen and other wild characters, he was also happy to laugh at the young Leigh Fermor — for not realising that the woman who welcomed him so warmly into the brothel expected more from him than his head on a pillow.
Also evident are another of the joys of the earlier books — the pyrotechnics of his writing. Exuberance is expressed in heightened suggestions: The descriptions of waking in unfamiliar places are so seductive that even the most home-hugging reader will long to wake somewhere unknown. And some of the evocations of landscapes and views will live long in the memory, including one of a muezzin calling from a mosque and another of the town of Tirnovo, with its "winged insurrection of houses plumed by belfries and trees". The first two books were written without the help of original notes, which had been lost; The Broken Road is based partly on a diary that was returned to Leigh Fermor in So instead of writing what the editors call "memory-spurred recreations", we see the older man trying to guess what his younger self did or why he did it.
There is also retrospective comment on Europe between the wars from an author who knows that the rise of the Nazis and the coming cold war are about to transform the lives of most people he meets. Leigh Fermor completed his physical journey in Istanbul on the last day of , then continued to the monasteries of Mount Athos in Greece.
The literary journey concludes without reaching its goal, hence the book's title.
