Book Review......Rarity from the Hollow

Rarity from the Hollow

I got approached to read this book and for a honest review by the author.  I know many of you will sigh and think it's still going to be bias, but I hope to keep to my word.

First I would like to say sorry to Robert for how long this took, and thank you for giving a chance to read your novel.

Here's my review.

It was good, I wasn't amazed but it was alright.  Sometimes it did give me a little headache because it had more twisted then a rollercoster you make on Rollercoaster Tycoon (look it up, youngsters), but twists are not normally a bad thing and it did keep the story fresh, but that being said, some didnt need to be there as I felt I some areas it affected the flow of the book.  

For me, this book was a little bit of a struggle, it wasn't gripping enough for me and I kept getting a little lost and having to read back on myself.  This kind stopped me from rushing back to pick it up, but when I did pick it back up, I did find myself enjoying what I was reading.

The integration of the anti bulling message wasnt as subtle as it could of been but if anything thats why I like it.  Cause its like pow!  And theres not really any books that are so strong with it.  I really think this is powerful and a great way for people to get a better understanding.

Overall the characters development wasnt really for me, i found them more grating as the story went on.  But, There was some really funny parts and some really dark bits, which of cause I loved.  But I wont spoil them for you.

Roberts writing style is amazing,  you can tell he put his soul into this book, and the fact hes used his own first hand knowledge really adds something.  I feel bad cause again this is not normally a book I would go for but that being said I am glad i read it.

A side note to add her is that Robert is also donating all proceeds to charity.  Absolutely Amazing.

This story is good, and I would recommend it to people.  Normally I wouldn't go for this type novel but I was intrigued.

3.5 out of 5 stars.

Book Review........The Antigone Poems

This book is right up my street.  The words express so much and the art work though terrifying is also endearing.  You can't take your eyes off them.  This book is chilling but at the same time calming.  Its relatable though your not sure why.  I loved it.

The poems are powerful, and you get a real sense of horror and terror and some left you feeling quite bleak then, POW!  There a beautiful yet undertone of sad picture and it brings you back.  You sense the Greek tragedy throughout this book.

I was in awe of the skill involved in some of these verses.  I loved in exile.  It was short and yet the range in my feeling when I read that poem.  Just read it and you will know what I mean.

The book itself it set out perfectly.  If you are new to poetry then please give this book a go, cause its not overwhelming and yet still special.

Read it in the dark if your dare.
