Sacrifice
Dollycas 19s Thoughts
I love featuring Wisconsin authors. This book was written by a man from my home town. We never met, I have heard he graduated from high school the year before I was born. :) A friend recommended this book to me and I am glad she did. I just wish she would have told me about the book he wrote before it. Truthfully I didn 19t know it existed until I started writing this review so you know not reading it first did not deter me from enjoying this story.
Wouldn 19t it be great if there really was a pill we could take to make people happy and enlightened? A pill that would make people matter more than the almighty dollar? It sounds wonderful but as the characters in this book found out it sure isn 19t easy and it does have a BIG side effect.
The author takes on some heavy topics but writes in such a way that twists them so they keep their importance but feel much lighter. The character is conversing with the reader his through blog entries, narrating the action, sharing his personal thoughts, with a good bit of sarcasm.
Alfred (Al) Pierce Geddies III takes us quite an adventure from prison to 1CThe Cottage 1D and out into a dark woods. He goes from being the Former White House Chief of Staff to Special Congressional Prosecutor to Penitentiary Inmate #76490263478 to lab rat and how it happened will keep you glued to these pages.
Sometimes the timelines blurred a bit for me as in places. I don 19t want to give any of the story away but at one point Geddies states something took 1Cnearly 3 weeks 1D and then later he states they had been missing 1Calmost a week 1D. In an operation such as the one that takes place I believe the shorter time span to be correct and that maybe it was a typo and the author meant 3 days not 3 weeks. This mistake is not relevant enough to downgrade my review. I found the story quite riveting.
If you are looking for a truly different kind of read, this is it. This story was not what I expected at all, but I truly escaped right into it. I have Matt Paust to thank for my recent book hangover.
