Book Review
How would you handle yourself if you were the one and only messenger that could help change the fate of the world? Would you rise to the occasion or be so afraid of failure that you didn’t even try? What if you went from great popularity and fame to a world where your name was associated with great hatred and scorn? In Revelation, Morrie Richfield’s follow-up novel to Mr. Breeze, Michael Ryan finds himself navigating and juggling between these two worlds. It seems as if, for the time being, he has decided not to share the message that was truly designed for only him to deliver and has exchanged that for a reclusive life with no responsibilities. He can’t disappoint himself or others if he just doesn’t even get out there and do anything. Just as with his previous novel, the reader can draw many comparisons between the actions in this novel and the actions of the world around them. How often have we not tried something for fear of greatness or of actually succeeding?Two years after the many miracles performed by Zack, aka Mr. Breeze, and the writing of the book that shook religious organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and every day citizens alike, the world is a no better place than it had been before. Sure, at first there had been great changes but skepticism and greed took over. In fact, taking no heed to Zack’s warnings, mankind seems even more destructive than ever. Even Michael himself, the author of the earth-shattering book, has slipped in a weed-induced recluse with little to do with the world around him. After meeting his charming, and beautiful, neighbor, and having a dream that seemed foreign yet all too familiar, Michael begins to come out of his trance and realize that he, that all individuals can make a difference if they only take action. This happens just in time, as Zack’s patience with mankind has run thin and drastic measures must be taken to try to turn around the awaiting doom.
Armed with this new mission and self-awareness, and with the aid of Rover, a dog with superpowers that only a great maker could give, Michael renews his goal to save mankind from themselves. Some of those who doubt become believers, which others who doubt become even more strengthened in their resolve to disprove the theories in Michael’s book.
As mentioned earlier, the similarities one can see between the characters and emotions in the book can become quite eerie. It has the remnants of both what is good and what is wrong with our world today. This is a thought provoking book that not only makes you want to know the end of the story, but the end of our own story as well. Revelation the Return of Mr. Breeze is a great read! Told in a way you would never expect. I couldn’t put it down -creative, engaging, well written and highly recommended.
