Unspoken Feelings of a Gentleman by Pierre Alex Jeanty Book book review — Stella Inabo
Not many men let themselves be vulnerable. In his book Unspoken Feelings of a Gentleman, Pierre Alex Jeanty challenges this stereotype.
Unspoken Feelings of a Gentleman is best described as a series of letters. Alex Jeanty addresses the letters to himself. He also writes to people from his past, his present, and his future as well. Each chapter is written in a raw manner. I say raw because Alex Jeanty writes without restraint. He hides nothing. He bares everything.
Unspoken Feelings of a Gentleman talks about many important issues affecting men. There is pressure to never show weakness. Men also have to deal with fears of commitment and finding true love. Alex Jeanty explains that society breaks boys, forcing them to act tough. They grow up unable to acknowledge their feelings and unable to be human. He speaks about expectations in relationships and the type of love men want. I found all of this very intriguing because not many men talk about these things.
Unspoken Feelings of a Gentleman could be said to be therapy for the author. He fights his demons, relives his past and apologizes for his wrongs. The last letter to God felt like a well-deserved sigh. A release and a promise of new beginnings.
I would have enjoyed the book more if it was written in denser paragraphs. But Unspoken Feelings of a Gentleman was worth the read. I would recommend men and women to read it. It would help us understand each other better.
