Book Reviews of Nameless Night
Book Review: A Solid Story of One Man's Search for Identity
Summary: 3 Stars
Note: The book I'm reviewing is titled "Identity", which is simply the UK copy of "Nameless Night".
GM Ford has a unique writing style. When I started reading the first chapter, I had to slow down a bit to get used to Mr Ford's voice, especially after just having finished reading Mark Gimenez's "The Color of Money", which has a more straightforward style. If you find yourself liking GM's particular tone, you'll enjoy the book.
The story is strong and the plot, despite being slightly telegraphed, was interesting. As the book opens, we find the lead character, Paul Hardy, living in a permanent home for mentally ill residents. He isn't there long, however, as tragedy strikes in the first few pages and he is forced out. We quickly find that Mr Hardy doesn't know who he is and we are left to discover whether he figures it out or not as the chronicle unfolds. Fortunately, the well thought out puzzle lends itself perfectly to his journey of self-discovery. And, the reader is treated to a the added bonus of having the story line take us on a thrilling mystery adventure which ultimately contains meat of the text.
Some of the details in the book were really hard to believe, and since this is fiction, not science fiction, I thought the discrepancies detracted from the story. Plus, while the mystery lends itself to rather rapid page turning, it isn't esoteric enough that an astute person will have trouble figuring out the ending before it occurs.
However, having said that, the crafty theme overcomes the implausibilities and taking the time to peruse the pages is worth the effort. There are enough twists and turns to keep the reader wanting to push forward to the end.
