Latest Review: "Call Me Pomeroy" by James Hanna

Post by Ssinghal »

I give this book 3 out of 4 stars. I would recommend this only to mature readers since it contains a lot of detailed lovemaking scenes, some of which are quite rhetoric and graphic.

I give this book only 1 star, and I'd give it less if I could. I found it really hard to read all the way through. It seemed like a bad Supernatural fanfiction. The characters are flat, the dialogue is cheesy, and the writing style is overall very immature. There are several errors and it just wasn't scary. I think there is potential though, if the author does some edits and rewrites some scenes.

Thank you for the feedback. As I've said in previous posts, the book out there is basically my first draft. We are hard at work on the rewrite, and I've hired a new editor. Thanks for reading the book, I hope you get a chance to read the 2nd release when it’s done.

I love a graphic book. Especially when descriptive creative writing is involved. The more the merrier.

I had the same issues on the lack of editing, and for me, it's a huge distraction, having a background in English. Even when I'm not in "proofreading mode" I read as if the work is the final draft, so that's a problem for me... That said, it was a book I couldn't put down and wanted to know how it would end. The twisted sexual ghost and animal cruelty made me a bit queasy, but I've read worse from Stephen King and Dean Koontz, so if that's your thing, Janet Leigh Green is on track!

As others have said, I'd recommend it with caution to mature adults who can handle this level of sexual supernatural in a novel, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who I knew would be offended or uninterested in this type of ghostly horror. And then there's the premarital sex factor that some people are strongly against, even in a fictitious book. Not saying I'm a prude or a saint, but you know the audience I'm speaking of.
Interesting
Thanks for the comment.
