Reseña del libro "Ray Dennis Does The Secret: A Simple Law of Attraction Story (en Inglés)"
When Ray, an alcoholic English bricklayer is deported from the US to the UK on a drug charge, he has no idea that his life is about to change forever. Shattered by his knowledge that he is a failure, Ray dedicates himself to self-improvement and unwittingly puts himself and his family on a path to disaster once he reads The Secret.Reviewed by Lesley Jones for Readers' FavoriteAs a lover of the Law of Attraction, the subject matter of this book intrigued me. I found the writing style of the book in the first person perfect for the story line. The character of Ray/Ramon was flawed and tortured but he made a great lead character. The supporting characters were also very realistic, especially Juan who made a great villain. The writing style of the author was natural and flowed effortlessly. The teachings of manifestation and visualization were superb regarding that true power lies within us, but that your emotions must be in line with your thoughts. The example of how Ramon gives all of his attention to what he feared, not what he desired, was a stark warning to the power behind the teachings of The Secret. The references to automated behaviour in humans and their lack of belief that they have the power to change their lives were also very powerfully relayed. The entire story is brutally honest about the mindset of an alcoholic too, as Ray's ego and mind battle for control. Either the author has done extensive research, or he has written from personal experience, because this is a gripping read and I highly recommend it.Reviewed by Jack Magnus for Readers' Favorite Ray Dennis Does The Secret: A Simple Law of Attraction Story follows the hapless London bricklayer as he takes stock of the latest developments in his life story and tries to figure out how to make changes, painless and easy ones if at all possible. Troia's story emphasizes the inherent problems with educational institutions determining who goes on to academic or professional pursuits and who becomes a bricklayer. By Ray's standards, and the bench mark she sets out for himself and often achieves, that system failed him utterly. Ray is engaging and personable, and the reader can't help but feel some connection with him as he is ensnared by a cult-like religious sect, and his story only gets better after that. Troia's character study is perceptive and keen, and the author's affection for his character is evidenced on every page. Ray Dennis Does The Secret: A Simple Law of Attraction Story is highly recommended.Reviewed by Tracy Young for Readers' Favorite What a great book.
