City Boy by Greg Alverez, as the title suggests, is the autobiography of someone who believes in living life at the edge by taking risks and being bold. The author shares his zest and passion for life and he captures various happenings and adventures and puts it down for readers to savor the colorful and turbulent phases in his life. The book also throws light on the author's problem in staying faithful in his relationships and the women with whom he got involved. The rebellious streak that runs through the writer during his early years is relatable. The story is original and strikes a chord within the minds of readers.
The style of writing is detailed and nuanced, which makes the events vivid and lively and gives readers the feeling of witnessing the scenes. Despite his struggles and rebellious early years, the book shows readers how the author changes all the negatives to success points. The memoir is a celebration of life and the writer's honesty is genuine and refreshing. The author's thoughts are bold and he does not mind sharing these with his readers. The memoir encapsulates the writer's important years and evokes a sense of nostalgia in readers, taking them back to their growing up years. The book holds one's attention until the very end as the author's life is like a roller-coaster ride and that is what makes it an entertaining read.
