THREAD, A BROTHERS’ KEEPER STORY, BY TRISTAN B. TAYLOR 

AVAILABLE ON AMAZON, THREAD, A BROTHERS’ KEEPER, IS AN E-BOOK.  WHAT I FOUND MOST FASCINATING ABOUT A BROTHERS’ KEEPER, BY TRISTAN B. TAYLOR, WAS AN AMAZING STORYLINE CENTERED ON FIVE BROTHERS WHICH IS PART REALITY, PART FANTASY.  TAYLOR HAS THE ABILITY TO MAKE THESE CHARACTERS REAL IN A FANTASY SETTING.  

THIS IS A SUPER HERO BOOK.  DUE TO TAYLOR’S INNATE ABILITY TO FLOAT IN AND OUT OF REAL LIFE TO THE IMAGINARY, YOU FEEL THESE CHARACTERS FROM YOUR HEART.  THEIR TEARS AND PAIN, THEIR INNER THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS COPING WITH THE DEATHS OF THEIR MOTHER YEARS AGO, AND NOW THEIR FATHER AND ELDEST BROTHER, ARE EXACTLY WHAT YOU WOULD EXPECT A SIBLING OR PERSON TO FEEL WITH THIS KIND OF LOSS.  EACH BROTHERS’ ABILITIES, AND PERSONALITY TRAITS ARE SO REAL IN FACT, I FOUND MYSELF IDENTIFYING WITH MY OWN BROTHER WHO HAS THE SAME PROTECTIVE NATURE AS SHIN ROLLY, THE MAIN CHARACTER..  

TAYLOR SHOWS EMPATHY, COMPASSION AND GROWTH OF EACH BROTHER IN HIS WRITING THROUGH ANGER, FORGIVENESS AND LOVE WITH A TRUTH, WE ALL CAN IDENTIFY WITH.  BECAUSE TAYLOR HUMANIZES EACH CHARACTER, WE AS READERS FEEL THE AMAZING LOVE EACH BROTHER HAS FOR ONE ANOTHER.  SEEN THROUGH VARIOUS EMOTIONAL PERSPECTIVES, TAYLOR REFERS TO A BOND WITH A BROTHER AS “AN INVISIBLE THREAD”, BEING STRONG, YET TENDER.

ALTHOUGH IT IS DIFFICULT TO BREAK THIS THREAD, FEELINGS AND BROKEN TRUST MAY DO SO.  THE MEMORIES SHARED AS A FAMILY HOWEVER, CAN NEVER BE UNDONE OR DISSOLVED, CREATING A STRONG BOND BETWEEN THESE SIBLINGS.  EACH BROTHER, LEANS ON THE ELDEST BROTHER, SHIN ROLLY AT THE YOUNG AGE OF 26 YEARS OLD.  HE MOVES BACK HOME AFTER LOSING, MOST RECENTLY,  HIS ELDEST BROTHER AND FATHER.  SHIN KNOWS HIS YOUNGER BROTHERS AND HIMSELF KNOW LOSS THROUGH THE DEATH OF THEIR MOTHER YEARS AGO, BUT WITH HIS ELDEST BROTHER AND FATHER PROVIDING FAMILY SECURITY, HE FEELS HE MUST MOVE BACK IN. TO DO THE SAME..THESE ACTIONS SPEAK TO THE LEVEL OF COMMITMENT AND PROTECTION BROTHERS AND SIBLINGS HAVE FOR ONE ANOTHER. TAYLOR DOES AN AMAZING JOB AS A WRITER CONVEYING THE LAUGHS, AND EMBARRASSMENTS  EACH CHARACTER HAS, DEPICTING THEIR FEELINGS AS THOSE ANY SIBLING, OR PERSON WOULD HAVE IN A CLOSE FAMILY RELATIONSHIP.   ONE PARTICULAR EVENT, DEMONSTRATES THIS SO WELL WHEN ONE OF THE BROTHER’S REVEALS HIS SEXUAL IDENTITY PRIOR TO THEIR FATHER’S PASSING.  THIS RESULTS IN THE FATHER KICKING HIM OUT OF THE HOUSE.  ALL THE BROTHERS JOIN THE HOMELESS BROTHER, SLEEPING IN A CAR TOGETHER SHOWING THEIR LOYALTY TO ONE ANOTHER UNTIL THE FATHER ACCEPTS THEIR BROTHER AND WHO HE IS.   

TAYLOR’S STYLE OF WRITING, SHOW WELL-DONE, CREATIVE, UNIQUE DESCRIPTIONS OF EACH OF THE FIVE BROTHER’S PERSONALITY. THE CHARACTERS AND SINCERITY OF EACH BROTHER AND  EMOTIONS ARE VERY REAL AND IDENTIFIABLE. THIS BOOK DESCRIBES THE SLOW REALIZATION EACH BROTHER HAS TO HIS OWN UNIQUENESS USING SUPER POWERS AS THE BASIS FOR EACH BROTHER TO DISCOVER WHO THEY ARE. TAYLOR DEPICTS THIS THROUGH HIS UNCANNY ABILITY WRITING A BEST SELLER. TAYLOR ALLOWS EACH ONES FEELINGS AND SELF-DISCOVERY TO UNFOLD THROUGH CAREFULLY THOUGHT OUT SCENARIOS ENTWINING EMOTIONS WITH A FASCINATING STORYLINE.  

TAYLOR IS SENSITIVE, BUT ALSO REALISTIC IN THIS SCIENCE FICTION BOOK.  I THINK TREADING THIS FINE LINE IS PARTICULARLY DIFFICULT IN BOOKS OF THIS NATURE.  IN A COMIC BOOK, YOU EXPECT TO FEEL AND READ “THE UNREAL.” TAYLOR MANAGES QUITE A FEAT HOLDING YOUR INTEREST THROUGHOUT THIS NOVEL DANCING BETWEEN REALISM AND FANTASY.  

IN A BOOK OF THIS LENGTH, YOU WANT REAL FEELING, EXPRESSION AND EMOTION AND TAYLOR KNOCKS THIS OUT OF THE BALL PARK.  THE BOOK PORTRAYS A STORY LINE OF DEPICTING EACH BROTHERS’ REALIZATIONS THROUGH TRIAL AND TRIBULATIONS AND INDIVIDUALITY.  THIS IS ALL TESTED THROUGH A STORYLINE INVOLVING THEIR RUTHLESS UNCLE WHEN THEIR LOCAL MALL IS ATTACKED.  THEIR UNCLE IS AN EVIL, POWERFUL SUPERHERO WHO KNOWS HOW TO USE EMOTION AND HIS OWN SUPER POWERS AGAINST EACH BROTHER, PLAYING ON EACH ONE’S PARTICULAR WEAKNESSES TO DEFEAT THEM AS A TEAM. TAYLOR LITERALLY PLAYS THIS STORYLINE LIKE A FIDDLE USING THIS SCENARIO.  THE BROTHERS’ ARE RESPONSIBLE TO SAVE AND PROTECT THE MALL, AND PEOPLE IN IT AGAINST THEIR UNCLE, A DEVIL IN A TRUE DISGUISE.  

TAYLOR PLAYS EACH CHARACTER’S INTERLOCKING INDIVIDUAL STRENGTHS SUCCESSFULLY WORKING TOGETHER AS A TEAM.  EACH BROTHER ADDS TO THE STRONG BOND OF “FAMILY”, EACH ONE CONTRIBUTES A SUPERNATURAL QUALITY TO.  SOMEHOW, WITH TEAM WORK ONLY BROTHERS’ CAN SHARE, THEY DEFEAT THE WARLORD, (THEIR UNCLE). TAYLOR IS WRITING ABOUT IMAGINARY CHARACTERS,  BUT THIS BOOK FEELS MORE REAL AS YOU READ EACH WORD.  

TAYLOR WRITES A BOOK THAT WILL CARRY YOU ALONG WITH HIS STORYLINE, AWAY FROM YOUR OWN REALITY.  YOU WILL NOT PUT THIS BOOK DOWN ONCE YOU START READING IT.  THREAD, A BROTHERS’ KEEPER, BY TRISTAN B.TAYLOR, DISPLAYS THE SKILL OF HIS PENMANSHIP AND CREATIVITY WITH EACH SENTENCE.  TAYLOR ENDS THE BOOK WITH A SURPRISING, SHOCKING TWIST I WAS NOT EXPECTING!  READ THIS BOOK WHEN YOU WANT TO GET LOST IN WORDS, MEANING, FEELING, HEART AND  STORYLINE.  I HAVE TO GIVE THE BOOK, “THREAD, A BROTHERS’ KEEPER STORY”, BY TRISTAN B. TAYLOR, FIVE STARS.  AVAILABLE NOW ON AMAZON AND FREE WITH KINDLE UNLIMITED!  ORDER NOW!!
