No Lie Like Love by Paul Rawlins

Book Review of No Lie Like Love by Paul Rawlins 

Rawlins has done an amazing job in this debut book which was released on 1st Dec 1996. The book consists of 11 short stories of different mens' who find love and hope in themselves and are willing to be dedicated and change for good.

The characters portrayed make you believe in them. As you journey with them, one can relate to the ups and downs in life we face and where we want to give up each time! But, it is love for ourselves which helps us to get going.

The characters are a shady financier, a middle aged – divorcee, a sick and dying professor and many more. It focuses on how each one has been put down in life however, love for themselves helps them rise up!

It is very realistic as in the current scenarios where we just want others to make us feel loved, where we seek for validation from people, but, we need to find all this in ourselves!

We need to love ourselves for who we are, we should do things what we want and not bother about what other people think! We must break every chain that helds us behind and believe in ourselves.

To summarise – It could do much better by giving more clear perspectives however, the short stories really engage the reader as the reader gets to identify with a new character at every stage. This book helps you to believe in yourself more and that is the important message!
