DAVID BRISTOL: “Dave vs. Johnny: Brilliance or Insanity?”

By Shamora Evans

In the literary debut of author David C. Bristol, the author utilizes two characters representing both sides of himself in “Dave vs. Johnny: Brilliance or Insanity?“. “Dave” is the character that represents his best character traits and everything that is good within him; “Johnny” is the ‘Devil’s advocate’ side of his mentality that often leads him into troublesome situations, turbulent times, and eventually jail.

The book is a good read for those interested in real life situations where the tragedies of life are overcome by a true “survivor”.  Due to the somewhat graphic details and language, “Dave vs. Johnny” is best suited for an audience aged 16 and over.  Bristol penned the autobiography with a creatively-combined foundation of rapper T.I.’s “T.I. vs. T.I.P.” and the NBC show, “My Own Worst Enemy”.

Aside from writing his first book, David also enjoys screenwriting for television and film. He wrote the television series “A.T.L. Undercover” and the fantasy/adventure screenplay “Neumitsu”, in addition to writing poetry in his spare time.

Bristol says to those aspiring to become writers one day, “Find something that you like to write about, or that you will be good at writing. Observe your market…Make your material for YOUR audience, and study it long.”  He himself began writing in the sixth grade and became more serious about writing in 2003.

“Dave vs. Johnny: Brilliance or Insanity?” can be purchased for $20 online, and those wishing to own a copy of the autobiography can contact David Bristol at http://www.myspace.com/UndeniablyNumber1 for an autographed copy.
