Sounds confusing, but interesting. I would love to read this book for myself and see if it would make more sense. Very detailed, well-worded review.

Sounded like an alright book although it started out sounding a lot like The Green Mile, then it took it's own direction. :?

I hope this is a fast read--I have too many books on the go as it is. But after reading some of the reviews, I'm going to try it. Also, I see it's selling for $2.99 kindle edition; a steal even if it's not to my taste.

Cheers all.

This sounds like a great book. I was just wondering, are you required to have a summary such as yours for each review you write. Or could you just write a description of what you liked and disliked about the book?

Latest Review: "Killing Nazis" by Nikos Kalpakis

It sounds interesting, but yes a bit confusing. I like the concept of getting the truth out and finding out who actually is the criminal, but sometimes when things are overlayered, they become distracting and confusing to the initial plot. Not sure whether I'd enjoy this one or not.

The first attraction of every book is it's title, "Thin Places" is an attractive title for every enthusiastic reader. It gives an urge to discover the itinery of the characters who are innocently persecuted. The suspense is amazing but a little emphasis on descriptive devices would have been added on the climax. The success is to cry when the characters are crying and rejoice when they are rejoicing. I could only believe i had written a great story after i recorded it on audio and listen back "Capo Rabies" one of my books will soon be on Amazon and other online markets. Your comments will help me improve on my writing.
