For me, Pieces of Mind is a fascinating look into who Vincent Zandri is through glimpses into his life over several decades. To be honest this would not be a book I would normally read but for a couple of reasons it is one I couldn’t pass up. I’ve been following Vin’s YouYube channel, The Writer’s Life, for quite a while, not since its birth, but since I started reading his books. The other reason I could not pass up listening to the audiobook of Pieces of Mind would be the stories. I haven’t read all of his books by any stretch of the imagination, but I have read fifteen and am currently reading the sixteenth. I figured being able to get a glimpse of what it took to get to his current position as an author could be very informative. An informative look was a very naive idea on my part. What Pieces of Mind does for the reader can be best described through simply stated – nothing is left out, nothing is off-limits. I used to teach my students about the Johari Window, if I were to describe Vin’s Johari Window, I’d have to say the open-area eclipses the other three sections to where one might believe they are mere slivers in comparison to the open-area. Is this book for everyone? Probably not, but if you are a fan of Vincent Zandri’s writing and want to get to know him then this book is well worth reading or listening to. Speaking of the audiobook, Andrew B Wehrlen does an excellent job of drawing you into the book, and not letting you go until the last words have been spoken.
