“Highly recommended for most readers”: The Hollywood Book Reviews commended Richard W. Block’s “Life as I Lived It: Small Town Country Living”

Arthur Thares from the Hollywood Book Reviews praised Richard (Dick) W. Block’s “Life as I Lived It: Small Town Country Living”, saying that “some stories seem to be documentation of his life, while others are meant to make the reader laugh, and as is the case with most memoirs, there are a few stories with morals as well.”

There are many short stories in “Life as I Lived It: Small Town Country Living” that are filled with wisdom, information, adventure, and fun. All of these accounts of life growing up in a small Indiana town along the Ohio River from the 1950s to the present are accurate.

Readers will undoubtedly learn a lot from these stories. You have read the wrong story if, after reading one, you decide that this book is not for you. This book is very simple to read and interesting. It is written for readers of all ages.

Here’s an excerpt from the review written by Hollywood Book Reviews that highlights:

“There is little rhyme or reason to this book’s structure. The stories aren’t grouped in any specific way, and they jump around to different points in Mr. Block’s life. While some may not like this idea, it is charming because it feels more like sitting down with your grandpa and hearing his life story than reading a book. Each vignette is the perfect length without any fluff to try to embellish or exaggerate the story. In short, Dick Block seems like the kind of guy you want to sit down with and have a beer. Even with the numerous stories in this book, I bet he has a few more that can only be whispered after a beer or two. Mr. Block has spent a lifetime serving his community and collecting stories along the way to share with all of us. This book is highly recommended for most readers, and you will likely get something out of it, whether it be a new outlook on life or just a few giggles.”
