Book: The Testimony of a Villain Kindle Edition
Author: AAron G. Harrell
Synopsis
Testimony of A Villain
Society made him. A city would fear him.
A generation would cheer him.
A Dark Tale of Betrayal, Love, and Crime
Society has created many great men; yet before they were great, they were persecuted. During their plights, they stood up for what they believed in; even when others were afraid to stand.
They were galvanized by truths, which created followers. It was then that trends emerged. The trends contradicted the norm and uprooted communities, which created fear.
Society rejects what it does not understand. The unknown makes them tremble. The thought makes them cower. And when a new trend of thought shakes society, a nation will look to its leader . . .
And he will be called a villain.
Meet the Author:
AAron G. Harrell
AAron is from Boston, MA. He was born the second son to Marvin and Barbara Harrell. He grew up with his two brothers, Derryck and Michael.
During the 1970s, the city of Boston was fueled by racism, and its school system was one of the lowest ranked in the country. AAron was placed into a bussing system called Metco. The Metco system was designed to ship inner-city students to suburban schools to receive a better education, and to begin an intergration process between blacks and whites.
AAron was educated in the Newton school system, in which he excelled. He was popular among his peers and was part of breaking those racial barriers. In 1987, he graduate with honors and was inducted into the book, Who's Who, Amongst High School Students, in the United States. He was ranked in the top five percent.
After high school, AAron attended Virginia State University, where he majored in commercial arts. Not much of an artist, he found more interest in creative writing. At the age of twenty one, he began his first book. Like most aspiring authors, AAron struggled to get a book deal, which resulted in rejection letter, after rejection letter. With his future unclear, he began to travel. It was then that he began to write his most conscious work.
In each city that he traveled, AAron saw a reoccurring theme-corruption and crime. It was all around him. Thus, with the setting for it, he began to write crime novels. He wrote passionately for the villains in the stories. He sought to pen the different aspects of them, in which, he gave them life and purpose. In his writings, he soon captured the social and political climates of the world; a world that builds a deeper psychology into his characters. He learned to twists his characters, so his audience would understand the other side of crime-the life of the criminal.
Books he has written: The Testimony of a Villain, Manifestations: Life after Death, 40 Thieves, A Convict's Christmas, and A Hustler's Prayer
My Review:
this is the first book that i have read from Aaron Harrell. This book is well written from
him and he makes the reader look at themselves and then think about how the inner cities
kids and adults feel of where they live. The inner cities have it harder then the people that
live in the city because of not having enough money to being with. Everything has to do
with money and how the family is raised.
