Book Review: A Brush with the Beast by Richard Sones #Review

 
The physical book:

I like this type of print and cover. It feels nice in your hands and the book itself is a good size. Not too heavy and certainly not so small that it feels like you are holding nothing.

The story:

On a whole the story is good. It had what it needs to pull through plot and push certain things forward, but it really does not give a whole lot of rhyme or reason for these things at times.

The Characters :

What you read on the back cover is pretty much the same you get from the book, so I recommend not reading that back cover until you are halfway through the book as it does help with some charater progression that really is not translated well in the prose. I honestly felt like too much character progressing was happening between chapters instead of where the reader could understand and enjoy it. This is my favorite part of stories and I felt this very much lacked in that area.

The Encouragement :

I found the encouragement between believers was the best parts of the book. The lifting up with scriptures and stories from the Bible was fantastic.

The Left Behind issue :

This is a book that very much deals with end times but no where near to the scale that it was done in left behind. If you enjoyed those books... This one will fall flat. Which is sad as this seems to have some cool points and characters that could have had some awesome moments. They just don't really show up.

The ending :

Not satisfying at all. Only one story is kind of wrapped up. If there was plan for more books..okay..but it was very lacking. Especially if you know much about end times and all that is in revelation.

Content rating :

I was suprised when this book opened itself to cursing. Most of the book does not have it and the character that does it... Well that makes sensebthst they would talk in such a way.. But it could have been more cleanly done, I think.

Disclaimer : I was provided this book for an honest review.
