I finished this book in two nights (fast, for me!), and am still, days later, breaking into giggles at random times when something pops back into my mind! That being said, and trying desperately to avoid spoilers here, this is not a comedy; this is a real life story. If you already know the story of the Ditch Kitty, don't let the cat out of the bag. If you don't know the story, don't read anything other than the cover before you read the book. Don't try to learn about the author or the story before you read it. It is sooo much better not knowing how this story will end when you are reading it. I knew nothing, other than reading the back cover, and having heard about the Craig's-list post. What an amazing story of clawing your way out of the ditch you are stuck in, how hard that struggle can be, and how what seems like the last straw can become your strong foundation (sorry, but not sorry, about the un-intended puns.) Excellent! ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
'Someone Please Come Adopt This A**hole!'So begins the 2016 Craigslist ad that introduced the internet to The Ditch Kitty, a maniacal orange kitten saved from a roadside ditch only to turn his rescuer's life into a living hell.The post went viral. And the internet fell in love with the tiny, orange monster. But it would have been impossible at the time for almost anyone to know the story behind the ad.They couldn't know about The Kid- the one so desperate to escape his abusive home that he attempted suicide at the age of 10, the one who grew up to be a soldier, because what else is such a directionless kid supposed to do? And they definitely couldn't know about the drinking. The despair. And how all of it- the PTSD, the alcoholism, and above all his reckless stupidity- would put him behind the wheel of a ticking time bomb and cost the life of a man he never met.When JT Gregory meets The Ditch Kitty, he's completely lost- out of prison and out of work, failing to write a book he'll never finish- and awaiting news on the birth of a child he's in no way qualified to have. A child that would be so much better off without a screw-up ex-con in her life. So who's the real asshole? And who, in the end, saves whom?Night Goblins: A Memoir is the striking true story of one man's trauma, his guilt and self-loathing- and the tiny, orange night goblin who saved him from it all.
