Author: Phillip E. Hardy
I’ve just finished reading “Singing For My Supper, The Greatest Self Help Book Ever Written” by new author Phillip E. Hardy and overall, I found it to be a very entertaining read.
“Singing For My Supper, The Greatest Self Help Book Ever Written” is a partial autobiography, part self-help book and part fictional novel based on the author’s life. As I read through my copy of this title, I kept hearing the infamous quote from the movie A Few Good Men: “you can’t handle the truth!” With that being said, those of you who are faint of heart should not attempt to read this title; neither should those of you who cannot handle truth and / or opinion being delivered with the same abruptness as a sledge hammer completely shattering a glass window because that’s the easiest way to describe Hardy’s writing style. It’s truthful. It’s abrupt. It’s real. And it’s right there in your face whether you want to agree with it or not. Should you, the reader, be one who prefers to sweep everything under the rug and / or “let sleeping dogs lie” this is a title you should definitely skip.
“Singing For My Supper, The Greatest Self Help Book Ever Written” is a funny and irreverent look at life through the eyes of Phillip Hardy. The author shares various stories and experiences from his life in a manner that is both humorous and educational. Because of this, “Singing For My Supper, The Greatest Self Help Book Ever Written” was a fun, quick and easy read. If only school teachers could provide this same kind of wit and sarcasm to complement each student’s required learning workload, I daresay the high school dropout numbers would plummet substantially if not disappear altogether.
In summary, “Singing For My Supper, The Greatest Self Help Book Ever Written” is a sarcastically funny book. One never knows where the author will wind up from one story to the next and honestly that’s part of the book’s appeal. I know I personally appreciated Hardy’s cynical comments and his straightforward approach to the conundrums of life. Four stars…
