The fact that you explained the characters are well developed without the unnecessary additions and this is a more fast-paced book makes me think it would be good for me to read. Very helpful! Thanks!
Thanks for stopping by!

I'm still on the fence about this book, so the points you made gave me some new things to ponder. That said, I did enjoy some of Coles' other work. Thanks for this informative review.

McDowell by William H. Coles is truly one of its kind. It's a testament to the expertise of its author and creates a new standard for novelists wishing to specialize in the genres of crime, family, mystery, and maybe even tragedy (I find it difficult to categorize this book due to its wonderful complexity.). With a compelling plot and succinct writing style, Coles masterfully draws us into this world and then makes us realize that it is actually very similar to our own.
yes you are right saying like this that it is an entertaining novel. After reading it we can feel it like a story, an event, an unhappy and terrible life of a person in our own society near us. thanks for a thorough review.

Thanks for the great review. I didn't feel as if Hiram was seeking redemption. He wanted to write a successful memoir. In learning how to do that he learned about life and realized some of his faults. Even if it wasn't his purpose, he became somewhat of an admirable human being worthy of reader's sympathy.

I have also read and reviewed this book. It's definitely fast-paced and very enjoyable. Glad you enjoyed it as well. This is a very good summary.

It's true that even the most perfect person may have some level of evil nature within him, and it's truly upon him, how he overcomes that evil. I like your four out of four-star work on this review.

I agree that this book isn't for someone who want to have a light read. I also did a review on this one but had to deduct a star because it has toi many errosrs. Glad that they already fixed it. Thankd for the review!
