Recent Review for THE LONG JOURNEY HOME:
"A JOURNEY DEFINITELY WORTH TAKING...." May 1, 2013
-By George Shadow
According to Author Brian Ellig in his book, THE LONG JOURNEY HOME, his journey took him "coast to coast three times over a thirty-seven year career, which encompassed major civil construction, fossil power and nuclear power generation, and gas transmission projects from the most rural of settings to the most metropolitan, all with a personality of their own, with their own unique set of people, problems and challenges." This has provided him with "the opportunity to become acquainted with a number of nature's many trout streams and surrounding environs, fly fishermen, and purveyors and ambassadors of fly fishing over a good share of the journey; all playing a key role in the realization of his true self and home..." Along the way HE'D COME TO IMBIBE SOME LIFE PRECEPTS WHICH THE READER WOULD SURELY FIND FASCINATING.
Most of us make the short journey through life without knowing its true meaning, as well as the creator's original purpose for us. Hence, the need for a "GUIDE" that conveys what a particular individual underwent in order to realize his true self, home, and purpose in life, despite all the societal noise and political/religious kaleidoscope surrounding us today. THE LONG JOURNEY HOME is such a book. Flipping through its pages, THE READER BEGINS TO UNDERSTAND A SENSE OF KINDRED SEMBLANCE THAT DEFINITELY SURROUNDS ALL OF US, including the author, because what Brian Ellig had searched for within a period of some thirty-seven years, most of us have searched for far longer.
The story is effectively narrated in the first person. The author speaks on and on about the goings on during his journey, the many people he met who helped him, as well as the many challenges he faced. The book is quite EDUCATIONAL AS WELL AS ENTERTAINING. It is full of stories from the author's many years in his career, including his successes as well as shortfalls, before he finally realizes his passion and what he'll finally call home.
ALTHOUGH DEFINITELY A LONG JOURNEY HOME, IT IS ONE WORTH TAKING WITH AUTHOR ELLIG.
George Shadow is the author of THE BLACK BOOK.
