Book Review: The Time is Now by D. R. Downer

The Time is Now
by
Deep Downer

BLURB

What possibly could an Ex-Major, an Ex-College Professor, a bookstore manager, and a college student have in common? Has fate brought them all together to rekindle some old flames or to start an entirely new one?

The Time Is Now is a short, sweet, unusual, un-cliched, and a mature love story. With just four main characters and one locale, the story is like a leisurely walk around the park on a pleasant summer evening that relaxes you and recharges you at the same time. It is sure to leave you with a mirthful feeling in the end and possibly moist eyes too.

My Review

Downer has a way of writing which is pleasant to read when you want a quick read that will refresh your mind. This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is the-time-is-now-1.jpg

I loved the way he has blended screenwriting and This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is the-time-is-now-2.jpg storytelling. It felt like watching a play. You could see the story unfold as you read. It was simple and sweet. It made me feel happy on an otherwise grey rainy day.

Though the story line is fairly simple what makes it stand out are the words of wisdom scattered throughout the book.

Since then he changed over and handled many different roles and responsibilities in the Marketing, Sales & Customer Service departments across industries. He finally shifted over to Advertising and spent a good 11 years in the same. It was during the later years of his career that he started to feel suffocated, doing the same sh**, day in and day out. he started to feel as if he was meant to do something more in life, and it was this feeling that forced him to call it quits and resign from his then position of Vice President of a multinational Advertising firm.

He finally had his calling in writing. He took out his laptop and simply started to punch the keys on a blank word processor page. Since then, his laptop has been his closest friend, the one he spends most of his time with. In fact, sometimes he wonders if his wife can sue him for cheating on her…with his laptop. No seriously, can she?
