*This is a sponsored post - Dane Cobain sent me a copy of his book to read and review*
I read, and enjoyed, Dane Cobain's book No Rest For The Wicked. This is my first book review, so I hope I can share my opinions in a clear fashion for you readers!
The copy I was sent was a pre-publisher print, so I now have a collectors item complete with a note from the author inside. This appeals to my inner book nerd.
I took the book with my to the auto shop while I was having work done on my car. I read the whole book (123 pages) in about one and a half hours. That was fine, except I still had to wait another one and a half hours before my car was done. That's a post for another day.
First off, let me say I enjoyed this book. I did have to check back a chapter or two a few times, but we have to remember I was sitting in a waiting room which is rife with distractions.
The layout is 34 chapters over 123 pages, so not long chapters. It's also a book that jumps around in time, which I think is where my slight confusion snuck in with my distractions. I liked that he had a date under each chapter title so you can place the content of the chapter. As I got further into the book the jumping around was much easier to follow as the character integration and development was more complete.
I'm a sucker for any sci-fi or fantasy story. Usually the more complex, the better (as long as it's well written, of course!) This book did not disappoint. The story managed to explain itself after a few short chapters, and the end was about what you'd expect. I'd draw a parallel to some Stephen King endings where the resolution isn't quite resolved and it can leave you wondering.
There isn't a lot I can say about the actual story without giving big pieces away. I will lend the book to my friends and family - it's definitely interesting enough to want to pass along. If you like supernatural, science-y, sci-fi stories than I would recommend you check out No Rest For The Wicked by Dane Cobain.
I'd love a review of my review. What else should I be talking about? Since this is my first one, I'm quite unsure of what I'm doing! Please leave me a comment below. And thanks for reading!
