Chasing Mayflies edition by Vincent Donovan Literature Fiction eBooks

This book really struck a chord in me - it was so moving that I both laugh and cried.

The writing is fantastic and as a former English major, I really enjoyed the literary prose - the story telling is so in-depth that you feel like you are taking the journey with Jack and Dennis. A journey that makes you question your own life and its destination.

I bonded with these characters, I rooted for them and I found myself thinking about the outcome long after it ended. I highly recommend this book if you're looking for fiction that is thought provoking and comical.

Chasing Mayflies edition by Vincent Donovan Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

While I am not a Fiction reader, I picked up this book based on a recommendation and have enjoyed every bit of it. The author added a good sense of humor to a sad yet inevitable ending. There is an element of surprise and an expectation of what Jack & Dennis were up to next. It was thrilling to read about police chases & costume changes to sneak through obvious traps.

The book navigates through multiple levels of relationships father-son, husband-wife, between friends with a very personal touch. The twist towards the end in terms of self-realization by Dennis is the highlight of the story. All in all - a great read and highly recommended.
If your purpose for reading is to take you somewhere you have never been and to return enriched by your journey then this title is a must read. I assure you it will not disappoint. For some of us trying to make sense of who we are and how we fit in "Chasing Mayflies" provides some answers and valuable insight through its characters. Even if you're looking for nothing but a great story you'll find it here.
A well written, terrific story. The writing, and emotions conveyed, were real. The messages are subtle but powerful. Don't misunderstand when I say messages - it is not a strident you-must-learn message but rather a book that brings you along in the journey that both main characters travel and by going along with them as their shadow, you reflect on your own journey and they seem to be indirectly including you. More humor than I expected and a few expected tears. Well done, Vincent Donovan. I look forward to you carrying me along on another journey!
I started reading this with the thought that it was going to be the stereotypical "bucket list" story. It quickly turned into a fast moving tale with unexpected twists and turns. The story is liberally sprinkled with some hilarious comparisons and situations which were totally unexpected. I found myself laughing aloud at various passages. The book intertwines many different storylines together without diluting the main theme. Technically very well written and edited. I loved this book. One true measure of a book is if you end up going back and reading it again. I have only done this with a few stories, but I know I will go back and read this one again to capture some of the small details that I missed the first time. The Author should be very proud !
The quick synopsis to the story of 'breaking a friend out of hospice' seemed outlandish, but this rare storyline made me curious. Growing up in Salem, NH made it such an enjoyment to know the exact mentioned locations, and being able to truly picture/map the exciting tale. The incredible sensory details made me feel as though I was in Dennis' shoes. I could picture my analytical self with one of my own friends that never second guesses one move, and relating to Dennis being completely apprehensive to each absurd obstacle that Jack sets.
At first glace one could think this was a morbid tale, but it is far from it. "Chasing Mayflies" has an abundance of adventure, action, comedy, and obvious lessons throughout the book. After recently experiencing a tragic family event, this book helped me realize you cannot live your life in fear and that you must seize the day! --- As Linda Ellis once wrote, "What matters is how we live and love, and how we spend our dash"
A perfect book to read on the beach!! A page turner that had me laughing out loud , shedding a few tears, and then laughing again! I loved the hilarious capers and could not wait to see what trouble those 2 would get into next!! Vincent's writing was so vivid, that I could just imaging being right there and watching Dennis and Jack narrowly miss getting caught time after time. This story contains life lessons that the reader will contemplate long after finishing the book. I especially appreciated Vincent's moving dedication to his father. What a great man and what a great son he had in Vincent to inspire a complex, meaningful, spritual and well-written story like Chasing Mayflies! Highly recommend! Anxiously awaiting a sequel and/or prequel!
This story takes place at the end of one man’s life; a man who has left misery in his wake. It is a search for redemption in the final hours of his squandered life. The story goes back and forth between a screwball comedy and a drama. The reader remains interested in what happens next, and there is genuine concern for Jean Bradley, M.B., and Jack’s daughter Kate. The theme of this story is “Forgiveness”. The sub-theme is “It is never too late to do the right thing.” Both of these points are certainly valid. But I feel Jack should have done something to reach out BEFORE he was on his death bed. The story will keep you engaged and wondering what happens next. Statistically, the death rate is 100%. If you have unfinished business, remember what George Elliot said—“It’s never too late to be what you might have been.” Jack was a better man in the end. I just wish he had done it much sooner.
This book really struck a chord in me - it was so moving that I both laugh and cried.
