Never Going Home – First Official Review!

October 2020

“Never Going Home” is the story of Din Swift, a relatively average man with an average life. Average, however, is not all it’s cracked up to be, so Din begins to take steps to create a change in his life. Perhaps a bit prematurely, Din quits his job and begins to search for happiness. Job interviews and dating are both challenging and frustrating for Din, which makes him take a look at himself, and society as a whole. Where does he begin in the quest for change?

I have not read a book quite so real as “Never Going Home” in a very long time. I always enjoy a book that the author is clearly passionate about or invested in, which is clearly the case here. Author Jeff Marlowe has delivered a relatable work of fiction that simultaneously calls attention to flaws in the way our beloved society operates, particularly in regard to employment and the “American Dream” we are expected to chase after. I must say I was impressed with this book; if you want to read and be entertained while fostering deeper thought, then Marlowe’s book is for you! I recommend everyone give this book a read at some point, a real modern-day classic!
