Review of The Attuned
Posted: 04 May 2022, 11:42
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Attuned" by Gary B. Haley.]
The Attunement by Gary B. Harley, is an autobiography about the author's friend, represented in the book with an alias to avoid complications. This book was created using the resources from interviews, phone calls, and meetings. Most of the book is written from his perspective, who happens to be the main character, and this friend had abilities that created challenges and adventures as he traveled across the country. His abilities were sorted out by some odd people who set out to learn and exploit his abilities, which were just innate talents. His whole life is about to change as he decides if it's right to teach strangers of suspicious nature an ability that could create chaos if in the wrong hands. Will he go against his principles or will he teach these strangers such a chaotic ability?
This book has 108 parts and is written from a first-person viewpoint. Each part represents the other by explaining the background of the different characters, their challenges, and progressions based on their personal experiences, and by linking their fate thereafter. This may come off as a different story because the pattern is inconsistent and the different parts are not specific to any character. The plot revolves around the main character, whose identity is unknown because the book refers to him in the first person. The book explains all the challenges, adventures, and advantages that his abilities present and how he is falsely accused.
I found this book very entertaining. I thought it was very descriptive, comprehensive, and elaborate, especially when explaining the environment and the weather. I felt like I learned a few things about the terrain and cultures in each mentioned location. There’s a great deal of respect for the person being written about, as the author admires the main character's principles and perseverance, especially when he was in hiding as an alleged mass murderer.
I personally didn’t like that the stories kept drifting from different viewpoints and kept an inconsistent pattern in explaining the characters and their background stories, making it difficult to keep track of the story.
I found zero errors present in this book. This book receives three out of four stars from me. I reserved one star because the story was inconsistent and could come off as confusing when trying to keep track of the storyline. That’s a very personal verdict that could vary for different readers, as other readers may find it unique. This book can be deemed suitable for a mature audience as it contains some adult words and phrases. I recommend this book to adult readers who enjoy travel and crime-related stories with a lot of drama and twists in them.
