Review of The Touch
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Touch" by Robert Flynn III.]
The Touch is not just a normal novel about supernatural beings. It is full of normal everyday occurrences. The Touch by Robert Flynn III is a story about a voice. This voice has been leading and befriending a group of people since they were born. In this novel, the group of people is being led by this voice to do amazing things, things that could be considered miraculous. During this time these people are questioning what is happening to them. They have always had this voice talk to them, but who or what is this voice, they ask themselves. As time goes on these things happening to them only increase and get more powerful in nature. And finally, after asking and asking, they finally learn what this voice is.
This novel is very unique. It is unlike anything I have ever read. It is written in a very philosophical way. With everyone pondering what is speaking to them and how they are doing the things they are doing; they start to debate life. What is real and what is not real. The voice also affects how everyone feels. It makes these people feel happy, content, and good with the world. This characteristic of the voice makes these people ponder life as well. They look at all the amazing things in the world that they have previously ignored.
There was one other really unique aspect to this novel that continuously caught my attention. This was how Robert Flynn III wrote his character’s thoughts. Normally, an author will write their character’s thoughts in a third-person point of view, but Robert Flynn III wrote these thoughts in a first-person point of view. It was as if his characters were expressing their thoughts in a dialogue. This was a cool characteristic because it really allowed the reader to feel as if they were in the minds of the characters, experiencing everything for themselves.
One thing that caught me by surprise when reading this novel was how it ended up being an almost religious read. When reading the description for the novel, there are no religious undertones to it. However, when reading the novel, everything had to do with some form of religion. This being said, if you dislike reading religious topics, this may not be the book for you.
I would rate this novel 4 out of 4 stars. The Touch was intriguing, mysterious, and wholesome. All characteristics you want in a novel, in order to keep you interested in it and keep you wanting more. I would recommend this novel to those who love a good supernatural mystery and to those who like to occasionally ponder what life is really about.
