"The Delivery Guy" is a revolutionary piece of literature that brings us back around to the heart, the family and what is important.--Just Jpan
"The Delivery Guy" is one of the most provoking books that I have ever read. Turning its pages, as fast as I could, I was affected emotionally, and cereberally, by the intensity of both Mikel K, and of the language that he used in the book.. As we follow Mikel K on the weird, and angry, journey of his early sobriety, it is a brilliant experience to be exposed to the very unique insights that only K can offer: thoughts that will make you sneer, thoughts that will make you burst out in laughter.
"The Delivery Guy," is how a book that will make you both laugh, and cry. It is nice to be touched by a book in such extreme manners. Many books make me feel nothing.
This is a book that, on the surface, seems to be about Mikel K, but as we read it, we find that the book has a connection to all of us. It can, and does, relate to current societal issues; it can and does relate to what most of us are going through in our daily lives. The massive feelings of both gratitude, and hopelessness that K relates to us, one day at a time, and his understanding of the struggles of survival that the working man goes through are amazing to follow..
You will never look the same way at the guy who delivers your pizza, again; trust me!
"The Delivery Guy," is a story of a man ruthlessly pursuing his art, his ambition to "be" a poet, his dreams, while making sure that his kids have a ride to school, and plenty of pizza to eat. Reading the book is somewhat like riding a rollercoaster. There are wild ups, and wild downs. At the end you will say, "Wow."
Excerpt from, "The Delivery Guy,: by Mikel K
Thoughts lead to actions.
Garbage in garbage out.
You know,
I have heard these little fucking sayings all my life, but I don’t think that I have ever truly listened to them. I don’t think that it has ever truly sunk into my fat head, my thick, thick skull what these sayings mean. Will I ever be able to listen? Will I ever be able to learn from the experience, strength and hope of others? It is said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. If so, then I am certifiable crazy.
