Book Reviews of Boldtext Pew Bible: King James VersionBook Review: Dangerous Book for Young Minds Summary: 1 StarsKeep this crazy book away from children, regardless all that scientific evidence that proves the age of our planet to be 4,5 billion years old it claims to be 6000 years old. Now that is a shame for 21st century modern people. That alone is just enough prove its stupidity. If somebody gives it to you as a present that would be an insult to your intelligence if you have one. Peace!
Book Review: One-dimensional characters make for boring read Summary: 1 StarsI hope no one bothers to read this. It really is terrible, the characters are horribly one-dimensional and the author appears to try and tell stories from multiple angles and tends to jump around without even attempting to smooth transitions between perspectives or stories. The main character who seems to be someone named God seems to have split personality disorder as he starts out being vengeful but ends up being portrayed as a kind being. The author repeats themselves and many of the stories appear to be copied from earlier texts. Would not recommend.
Book Review: Worst fantasy novel ever Summary: 1 StarsIn all seriousness, this book could stand a better editor. The plot is meandering, at best, and major characters lack any real motivation, and worse yet, will vanish for huge swaths of time with no explanation. The author is also guilty of constantly writing himself into corners and needing to employ dues ex machinas to repair his faulty story.
I would suggest readers instead look into other popular fantasy stories, such as George R.R. Martin's Song of Ice and Fire books, or even the classic stand by, The Lord of the Rings.
Book Review: Not a very good short story collection Summary: 2 StarsI don't know what I was expecting, but this wasn't it. This book is basically a collection of short stories. The first section, referred to as "Old" was fairly action packed, if more violent than I like, but lacked cohesion. You could see where the stories were connected, but it was written poorly enough that it was difficult to pull it all together in your head.
The second section, referred to as "New, was something else entirely. Much of it was the same story told from different perspectives. An interesting device, and it almost worked. I liked how each person's view of what happened was so COMPLETELY different. It really said something about what we each bring to the events that we witness. The protagonist was a bit dull, and you feel like you have seen this character type in too many other forms, so it was hard to get into him. There was also a really good subplot that had you wondering who the good guys were, and who the bad guys were. Everyone was so flawed that it really said something about the duality of man.
All told, the book wasn't very good. I would recommend that the author practice more and hone his/her craft before trying again. Work on consistency in story telling, character development, grammar and structure.
Book Review: poorly written Summary: 1 Starsrepetitive, contradictory and poorly written. creates a mysterious instant bond with many a hoity-toity unexpected house guests when placed in a high visibility area in your home.
