Review of Redemption Bound
Redemption Bound by S.K. Alfstad is a fictional story that revolves around a non-fictional event witnessed by the writer. The 17-chapter book focuses on the theme of addiction and redemption. It was written in the third person omniscient point of view.
The book follows the story of two young men who struggled with addiction. The book was divided into two parts; 80 percent of the story was about Beni, and the other 20 percent was about Marquise. Beni was a young man who struggled with addiction all through his life. The most distinguishing thing about Beni were the two tattoos on his back, one of the Grim Reaper and the other of Jesus, two opposing figures. Marquise’s problem started after he left the military due to his injury and got stuck on drugs. The two young men were music lovers and were biased towards the Blues genre. To find out how their story progressed and ended, read this book to find out.
From a good parental background, Beni got addicted to alcohol and drugs through Patricia, who roped him into slinging drugs for her. The Patricia character in the story is quite relatable to everyone. There are some silent foxes and influences that we know are not good for us as individuals and might ruin us, and it takes special grace to do away with such.
I love how the author infused song lyrics in his writing. It increased the fluidity of the novel, and the character development was quite amazing, especially on the part of Beni. The plot was a good one, it was captivating, and the story flowed beautifully without any confusing gaps or unexplained time jumps. For this reason, I rate Redemption Bound 4 out of 4 stars.
My favorite scene was when Dawn, Beni’s wife, realized Beni wouldn’t change, not for her nor their son. She realized this after staying and moving with him from one town to another; then, she had to decide for her sake and their son’s. The book exposed the readers to the dangers of addiction, and I am careful not to release spoilers from it. There is nothing I dislike in the book, as it is informative and entertaining.
In conclusion, this book is professionally edited, as I observed a few errors that did not distract my reading experience. The written style is simple and easy to understand. I recommend this book to those who love intrigue and realistic novels. Also, people struggling with alcohol and drug addiction can learn one or two lessons from the book.
