This book got me hooked from the beginning. It's a very real and raw story of finding the light in the darkness. I laughed, cried, got angry, and heartbroken over Troy's life story. What an incredible journey he made to turn his life around. This is about bad choices and darkness, good choices and healing on the way to forgiveness. Highly recommend reading The Midnight Crow.

About the author
Eye opening and Heartfelt Memoir
Definitely read the trigger warnings with this one because there are many. With that being said. This Memoir touched my very soul and penetrated me deeply. Although I have not experienced any of these myself. I have been along side loved ones who have battled many of these. I found this eye opening and heartfelt. Raw, bold, graphic and truly vulnerable. I appreciated the author's accountability in his very personal life. He obviously felt like he needed to express himself and tell his story in his own way. Which is how every Memoir should be told. I felt his pain of wanting to be a good father, son, etc but still giving into his desires and demons. We all have demons we face but some are harder then others and his are some of the most painful and extreme. I did love each chapter starting with a quote. These two are my favorites "Light is easy to love, show me your Darkness..." R.Queen. and "The only person you are destined to become is the person you choose to be." Ralph Waldo Emerson. My eyes filled with tears at each loss and each learning experience the author has to learn. His mother's poem, "Lost Boy", I took especially to heart since I've had loved ones die from overdoses. I would say definitely give this one a read if you want to understand the inner thoughts of a struggling loved one. Bravo Mr. Troy Poppler. Thank you for sharing your life with us.

I was intrigued to read this memoir, fascinated by the almost unbelievable life events that had occurred. Each chapter was something new, something dark and intense. There were moments which were incredibly difficult to read, parts that made me chuckle and some that shocked me. Not many books have made me physically cry, so kudos to Troy for making me shed a few tears as well!
Written in Troy’s typical gritty and raw tone, this memoir of starts as a struggle through addiction, the lure of revenge and the deceitful acts of the author to get what he wants, but after a tragic and heart-breaking event it transforms into a glimmer of hope for redemption and self-forgiveness.
Throughout the book Troy enriches the readers with the inclusion of relevant quotes, I was hooked into wanting to read more. There were the casual song references which is always a nice little bonus.
This book deserves 5-stars hands-down and I would definitely recommend others to read this incredibly well-written memoir.

A rollercoaster must read of a book!
A binge-worthy book that you simply won't want to put down! From the moment I picked up this book I was immediately drawn in and wanted to know more. The best way to describe 'The Midnight Crow' would be that it is like getting on rollercoaster ride. You will experience a wide range of emotions! So prepare to strap yourself in!! Although different than Matthew Perry's Memoir, 'Friends, lovers and the big terrible thing' it does confront the effects of addiction on someone's life. Troy Poppler is exceptionally skilled and talented at painting a vivid picture with words of his past experiences and path to redemption and inner peace. I would highly recommend this book to anyone!DemiA rollercoaster must read of a book!
