[Following is a volunteer review of "The Champagne Tales" by Michael Amon.]
Have you ever wondered about champagne? What it is about? The varieties of champagne and what comes with each bottle? Well, The Champagne Tales by Michael Amon is an array of stories which involve champagne. Narratives which bring you laughter, tears and leave you with questions. The book is a combination of ten plots which are interestingly different with eye catching topics that bring out the different tastes of champagne in an alluring way that keep you on your toes, wanting more.
This masterpiece involves irresistible topics like The Treasure of House Leclere, Life in the Fast Lane, Prey the Gay Away and Aurora Borealis Rising. With well collaborated plots and smooth articulation of words that bring out a smooth flow. I was taken through life during the time of the Nazis, an eye opening moment of honesty , a period of gay romance and life as a night thug who got to hustle his way through it all to make ends meet. The author ensured that I got to read this book with a food dictionary by my side so as to understand some words that left me mouthwatering.
Each tale has a plot of its own with amazingly interesting characters and different stylistic devices such as suspense, sarcasm and irony which make the book really interesting. The Treasure of House Leclere was full of suspense and had me wanting to find this treasure like the characters involved. Life in the Fast Lane left me sad at the irony involved which I least expected. On the other hand, The Review left me proud as the character took me through the meals honestly and with sarcasm which gave me the best taste of that particular plot.
The book seems to have been well edited as I only found two grammatical errors which include the use of italics on a normal English word and starting a sentence with but. I noted one instance of profanity. What I liked most about this book is how the author is able to generate different emotions in me with the different tales which all involve champagne. I did not find anything that I disliked about the book as the book is well written and captures all my fiction levels in an amazing way and had me as open-minded as ever.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars as it is well written, fun to read, eye opening and with minimal errors. I would recommend this book to mature readers who are open-minded and will be able to enjoy and understand the scenarios in each plot.
