BOOK REVIEW: ROOTS OF THE RESILIENT by Jean marie bub

                        



I know almost all of us might have been in such a situation atleast once in our lifetime wherein we find our head spinning, our limbs turning up numb, our body turning cold, shivers running down our spine and electric waves running through our veins. It hurts a lot and puts us into a turmoil.  But how would you react if I asked you, at that very moment what's you're greatest strength? Yes people we all have certain strengths in us that are inate & they grow up within the time when we need them the most, however we are so busy focusing over what's going on that we overlook that strength of ours.  But there are some ordinary people who do the extraordinary job of choosing to focus on that strength of theirs rather than the situation they are in & yes guys today I bring unto you on such review of the book Roots of the resilent by Jean marie bub.

DESCRIPTION : This is a collection of poetry for those who have suffered with mental illness. This is for the "strong ones," the broken, the tired. This is for the resilient. This is for the ones that have spent years fighting the thoughts that plague their minds, this is for those who never gave up. This is my ode to hope, to strength -- this is Roots of the Resilient. - After the authors attempted suicide and years of being stifled of growth; she decided it was time to give herself to the sun and never look back. Roots of the Resilient is an anthology of raw, passion filled poetry, written amidst her turbulent struggle with bipolar personality disorder, manic depression and anxiety. It's prying, it's powerful, it's all too personal, but most importantly -- it's the truth. - Roots of the Resilient contains trigger warnings and multiple help resources.[sic]



OVERVIEW/ MY OPINION :  There are very few things that vow to stick with you, this book is one of them for me. All the while when I was reading this book it kept me locked to it there were so many times that tears welled up in my eyes as I read a few poems.  Jean's writing style is pretty much impressive, she pens down her story with relatable examples, I could feel a connection building up with her as I proceeded  with this book.  Secondly the illustrations in the book are very attractive and complement well with the content under it, also the cover design and title is appropriate.  She speaks very neatly about mental illness and and specified certain ways to get out of it. The only part wherein this book disappointed me was that it was pretty short I finished reading it in 1/2 hr.  I would have loved it even more if it was a bit more lengthy.  This book is a must read for everyone, even if you hate reading, it provides an insight into the life of people who struggle with mental illness and torture. Overall this book was a really good and an  informative read .

MY RATING: 4/5 .
