January 21st - Book Five: About the Author


I finished another book yesterday. Book five is John Colapinto's book "About the Author" published a few years back. I bought it at Book Warehouse for the great price of $4.99 a couple of years ago. A crime/mystery story about stealing, blackmail, and deception, the book has a very good opening chapter that "hooks" very well. However, the ending is somewhat less well developed and it makes the telling of the story a little disjointed. Similarly importnat points that took Colapinto hundreds of pages to describe at the beginning of the book only took him a few pages to write at the ending; It felt very rushed at the conclusion. Regardless, though, the book is very well written and a very exceptional read. (Recommened by Stephen King, what more endorsement is needed to get anyone to read this book? Okay, more proof: It also rate very high on Amazon.com.) The story plays out in a very unpredictable way and surprises with each passing chapter. I give it a 4/5 and recommend it to anyone that can get their little paws on it. (272pages. Total for the year: 1336 pages)
