Book Reviews of Lost Echoes
Book Review: 100% Pure Mojo Magic By Joe R. Lansdale
Summary: 5 Stars
Joe Lansdale is a writer who can pull off just about anything. Horror, Suspense, Mystery, Humor, you name it, when he sets his mind to it, it sprouts to life within the pages of his books.
And Lost Echoes is no exception to this statement.
This is the story of Harry Wilkes, a kid who develops a strange ear infection, then comes to realize that when he's anywhere near a place where a violent crime took place, through sounds, he can relive these violent pasts through flashes of intense visions.
For example, if Harry is in a car where a murder took place, and someone throws a book in the backseat and it slams down hard enough to make a sound, within that sound are the memories of the murder. And what ensues is those memories being played out in Harry's mind.
Not a fun gift to have, but you'll find Harry learns to use it in a positive way.
Throughout the story Harry drinks to numb this gift, then meets Tad, a fellow drunk and also a martial arts expert who, in time, comes to be a teacher and father-like figure to Harry, and definitely a mentor.
Soon Harry and Tad find themselves wound up tight in a murder mystery, and the story really takes off. But this entire book, from page one, will have you glued to the pages, unable to put it down. Joe Lansdale will have you finishing this one in two days at the most-trust me, I couldn't stop reading it.
Whether you're just now discovering the magic of Lansdale's storytelling, or are already a fan just getting around to grabbing this one, do not miss out on Lost Echoes, because it's one killer piece of storytelling by one of the masters.
