"Madness is a point of view" says Román, protagonist of this short novel, where madness and truth are intertwined and sepatated by a slender line of sanity. in "The Beautiful Story of a Hideous Man" we can't know for sure where we are: in the twisted mind of a cruel killer or in a terrible reality told by his own victims.

I always felt like I had something tremendously important to say, but whenever I tried to speak, my words would go to left field when everyone I needed to share them with were in right field. Whenever I would find the courage to say what was in my heart, I felt like my communication skills were inadequate or not clear enough because the person I would be speaking to seemed as if they did not fully understand me. I allowed it to place fear and doubt inside of me. I limited myself from becoming and revealing my true self. This book is for all people who are battling emotional hurts, abuse, sickness, pain or any form of dis-ease. I encourage you to move forward and live out your wildest dreams with love and peace surrounding your heart and mind.

The book is trying to define the beautiful and the dark side from a man and a woman, that are in love of each other, but not as theory ... but as a result of analyzing facts that are happening on the timeline of the love story. It’s a book about a fairy tale, with 2 lovely characters that are not understanding, but also are not accepting that the meaning of an abstract love ... or an imposible story is to enjoy only the beauty of what is going on. The 2 people from the essays get lost so many times, that not even the people around them can’t see if the story itself is real or not. But it’s all a journey of accepting the beautiful and the dark side from the person that you love so much. After the first period when you are blinded by love, it comes the second episode when you see that you are not in love with a god, but with a human being ... and just as you have millions of imperfections ... the same has also that magic person that you fall in love with. It’s a book that defines the fact that we should accept the things just as they are ... and love with an opened heart ... no matter what is going on. The nice part is that the book is not a collection of imaginary stories ... but essays that talks about a real story between 2 adults that wants to redefine and also restart their lives ... but in the end just enjoy the fact that they met ... losing any expectation at all as the story to become a real one. Today you are happy, tomorrow you are not .. and the essays describes this in a very honest, but also beautiful way ... all those amazing moments spent togheter.
