Review by lumenchristi -- Dreams Are To Be Lived

[Ntombifuthi Londi]

Dreams should be followed through on. On its own, it's a strong title. I'm looking forward to reading it. It appears to hold a lot of potential. Congratulations on winning the #BOTD competition. Great review

It isn't uncommon for a parent to be against their children's dream profession, especially in Asian culture. I wonder why Bobby's father wasn't supportive of him. Congrats on BOTD!

I have enjoyed the first few chapters of this book and interested in finding out the secret Al’s past, I have a feeling he had dreams that went unfulfilled. Thanks for the excellent review on this book.

This book sounds like it is both thrilling and suspenseful from the beginning all the way to the end. It will be interesting to see how the author portrays the relationship strain a family goes through in times of crisis. Especially since that is usually when the ugly side of people comes out. I look forward to reading this one for myself!

[Brenda Creech]

This sounds like an interesting book! I can understand where Bobby was coming from dealing with a dad who didn't encourage him to follow his dream of being an artist. I am curious what happens after the crisis with his dad is over! Thanks for the great review!

Like Greenberg's other books, this book's title has a self-help vibe. It seems the author also likes to feature artists as main characters. I suppose he is one himself. As for dreams, I still have to live mine.

[Jorge Leon Salazar]

A fictional story about a seventeen-year-old college student and his father. The theme of the desire to achieve a dream is addressed, with his father against him as the main obstacle. A thought-provoking story.

The aspect in which a parent does not want his child to become an artist is very common with successful artists, which the writer noticed very well.

[Laura Ungureanu]

This sounds like a beautiful story. Since people don't talk about their dreams enough, I think this book could make you think. Congrats!

I wonder why was Bobby's dad so against his art career. I know it's not seen as a profitable career option by many, but I get the feeling by your review that there's a secret there.
I hope you get the chance to work as patron of the arts later on! Thank you for your great review.

i can relate to this book on so many levels. i’m an artist and my parents have advised me against it. but continue to strive to become a better artist. i hope that AL finally allows bobby to fulfill and live his dream.

Family support is important, I couldn't agree more.

[Amprye]

Even just the title of this book is so inspirational. Your parents are truly influential in swaying your dreams (whether in a good or bad way) so I think a lot of people will be able to relate to this book. Congratulations on book of the day!

Bobby's relationship with his father seems to be full of ups and downs. Even if I usually enjoy reading coming-of-age stories, I don't think I'd like the graphic scenes. Thanks for your review!

Dreams Are To Be Lived by Jerry Greenberg sounds like an interesting read that follows the story of Bobby, who was determined to make the future bright. I'm happy that the book is well-structured, as well as formatted. Thanks for this insightful review. It really gave a glimpse of what the book is all about.
