Get Inspired By The Characters In "In Eight Months' Time"- A Book Review(prt.3) by basti1212(m): 12:21am On Feb 19, 2017
Levy comes in as the third character - a black teenage boy with parents of mixed races. He had two siblings - one later married Jimmy Robert. Levy could be described in these words; stoic, believe a lot in life's values - respect, perseverance, pick yourself up in difficulties, compete, keep going.
At 19, he discovered he had a problem that existed since he was a child. Soon, the boy that has been enjoying and living his life just like every other boy his age was faced with a shock reality. Levy decided to tackle his problem the best way possible. He decided to take action, to take positive steps. The act of self mastery had begun!
When faced with problems, difficulties. Do you sit fat in your right and cry over it? Do you leave it to fate? Or, do you look for pragmatic ways to solve your problem and stop worrying about it? Remember worrying about a problem will not help you solve the problem but will only make you weak to face it when the problem finally comes. If atall it will come.
When you worry over a problem, it makes your heart wants to drop. At the end, you find out that you were just wasting your time over sometime that was baseless. Remember also no matter how hopeless your situation may look, something can still be done to better it. Don't you ever forget that!
In an attempt to find a lasting solution to his problem, Levy came to discover things he would never have and consequently came face to face with danger and the life of many depended on his survival.
Levy and Andy Tod had similarities - they were masters of their selves. One striking different Levy had from Andy Todd was that he had good conscience.
There are other characters like Sarah, Levy's elder sister, who went about her life thinking everyone were simple at heart like her. Oh, if only she had paid attention to little things and ask questions, she would have changed the course of events that was programmed to bring pains. Sometimes, it is the little things that we fail to pay attention to that would have made all the positive difference in life. And detective Frank - a find investigative police officer who found himself trapped in an investigation that was heading nowhere simply because he did not know how to head himself. It seems these characters wanted to entertain as well as inspire with one or two lessons but how well that will go is not of them to decide.
