I always love reading about people. I love reading about where they started and how they ended up where they were. In The unbelievable life of a country boy we see Lt. Col Peter Jack Newton seeing where he started and how he was born in the South and lived through some difficult decades and his journey to WWII. I enjoyed learning about him.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author and publisher for allowing me to read a copy of this book -- all thoughts are my own.

This book was a fun account of the life and adventure of the author. There was something in this book for everyone to hear.

this was a really good memoir, I enjoyed the stories in it and going on the journey with the author. It was well-written and kept me invested.

This is a great story of an ordinary man who did great things. I loved all the personal pictures in the book. This is a great story about simpler times.

What a great and refreshing life adventure this book is! I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review and I am most grateful for it. In fact, I'm thinking of going to get myself a paper/hard copy version of it too.

This is the story of a remarkable man, although I doubt he thinks so, who makes no apologies about the way he lived his long life. He doesn't swear or drink, he believes devoutly in God, was married to only one woman his entire life, loves his family, and just happens to have survived both the Great Depression and World War 2. Whew!

His memoirs are not the act of a great writer, although obviously a very intelligent person, but rather the desire of a sincere individual to leave a legacy in writing. Much of what you first think of as typos has been left in on purpose as a reflection of the way he actually speaks as he weaves his various anecdotal tales filled with wisdom and humor. It is fascinating to learn how things were done in his days and he doesn't shy from giving us details knowing that these ways are foreign to us now and will be even more so to those who are reading it in the future.

Although it will never be considered great literature, it is written by a great person, which is so much more important. There is nothing profane or graphic in this story. Safe for even the most sensitive of readers as Peter Jack Newton calls you near and tells the stories that make up the fabric of his life as only he can. And if you don't think all that classifies him as "Remarkable" yet, consider the Foreward of his book written by all his children which permeates their continuing respect, pride, and love for the man who is their father.

Like meeting someone who is unique and heroic in all the best ways, The Unbelieve Life of a Country Boy is just exactly that. And fits right into my own vision of everything a life can be as I often describe my own journey as "an ordinary life led by an extraordinary God." Whether you love history and memoirs or not, this book is definitely worth your time because Lt. Colonel Newton has something to say and pass on to you. Don't keep him waiting.

Sincerely, Laura-Lee

Peter Jack Newton is a humble man who believes in God, family, and country. That is typically what most people all are comprised of basic life principles. However, he is s a little different this simple and I don’t mean simple of the mind because he is a college graduate and raised his kids and put them through college and maintained a family farm they have owned for generations. This man has never drank alcohol, nor does he cuss and he does not smoke! Another thing he doesn’t believe in credit at all! So, we have a man who fought for his country sustained an injury to his hand married the love of his life and came home and had a overall good life.

The book for me just seemed to center on the same theme that he believed in God and he was a good father and husband. The chapters from the children were wonderful memories of their father.
I just couldn’t find myself wanting to turn the page, but I did.

I received an advanced copy from NetGalley and this is my willingly given thoughts and opinions.
