Blind Sight eBook Marc Douglas Reviews
I gave this book an honest try but just couldn't finish it!
The description given for the book sounds very good, I just never seemed to get to that point though
I feel if the author would've set up chapters, instead of these files with #'s which didn't make sense to me, perhaps the book would've been understandable. It went back & forth between many characters & in different times. It was difficult to discern what was currently happening & what happened & what happened in the past
The beginning started out well, but it just got confusing & with 2 of the women characters both having names starting with "S", I kept forgetting which one was who
I do think the author can write very well, it's just the manner in which he chose that made it complicated. My hopes would be that the author might reconsider some of these things & not re-write the book entirely, but put a better order, maybe name changes & use chapters to make the book easy for the reader
The book has potential & I'm not saying he can't write, I just was confused by what I feel was a haphazard way of telling the story
I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway, & unfortunately this is my honest opinion /
Of all the Marc Douglas books I enjoyed this the best. I could not put this book down. the characters kept reappearing keeping the suspense level high. A must read for Marc Douglas fans.
Right from the first page I was hooked. Good story inside a story, reminds me of Dean Koontz. I also have read some of his other books and enjoyed them as well!
The author's stories are fun to read, but there are a few distractions that are quite bothersome. First of all, the author almost exclusively uses "then" where "than" should be, and, vice versa, uses "than" in places where "then" is appropriate. I am by no means an English major, but this faux pas is annoying. In addition, the lack of editing makes the conversation in places very difficult to follow. There are very clear rules, most of which were ignored, on how to punctuate conversation in text.
Should these elements be corrected, the reading of the satires would be greatly enhanced.
I probably wouldn't have finished this book. The author chose to give some of his characters a language that was nearly incomprehensible. What it resulted in is a complete disruption, a withdrawal, from being involved in the book because readers have to literally stop and try to figure out what the misspellings, abbreviated words, etc., are supposed to mean. I normally don't mind when a character has a colloquial dialogue, or there is an attempt to show education level. This author needs to do better with this or readers may not take the time to grasp what the story is about...
And that would be a loss for those readers, in my opinion...
What kept me reading was the remainder of the book outside of some of the dialogue. Douglas has an easy writing style that pulls you in without realizing it and I wound up turning the pages faster as I went...ending with a one-word feeling "Redemption." You'll have to let me know if the word fits for you. Before the ending, however, is lots of criminal action as well as scenes that show individuals, even in the hardest situations, who will still try to do what they feel is right...
The book opens as Sadie is being chased in the woods, by a group of men who have recently turned into biker-group wannabees, but had no bikes, so roamed around in a van.
Sadie and her husband Dozer had made the mistake of stopping at an isolated country bar to go to the bathroom. Sadie couldn't go any further and they had stopped, even though concerned about what kind of place it looked to be.
They were wrong in one way. Joey, the leader of this little band of loners, immediately "fell in love" with Sadie and was quite willing to have her stay for he was convinced that she was interested and flirting with him. Readers immediately realize this man is...scary, to the say the least...
But Joey had something to prove. A biker gang, named Road Kill, owned all of the criminal activities in the area and the town people nearby were quite willing to let their income help keep their little community going... Joey had gone to join and had not only been denied membership but had been humiliated...
Now he had his own gang, and when Sadie and Dozer left they followed them, rode them off the road, shooting Dozer and putting Sadie on the run...
Otis was the leader of the Road Kill. His daughter, Grace, had been seriously burned when his anger had caused grease to fly into her face and body. He already had much guilt toward his daughter because when she was younger, his wife had tried to take Grace and leave--only to be attacked and killed by one of the other bikers. Otis had allowed Grace to think she had run off. Otis had regret about Grace and took much money to give her reconstructive surgery and then to build a dorm where she would teach the children of the bikers who always had problems when trying to attend public school.
Ultimately these two plots merge and just when you think you're moving toward the end, another twist occurs, another, and then another...taking you almost to the end before you finally see what has happened to many of the characters in the novel.
Others have compared Douglas to Dean Koontz, but I think it would only relate to his later novels. This book does not fall in the early horror-type stories from Koontz, but rather those that showed that good can come out of strange situations and even from stranger people involved in those situations. The character Joey, especially, turned out to be almost unbelievable and yet, the ending couldn't have been more perfect, in my opinion...
Take a chance and pass over the troublesome "bees" and other words that prove hard to understand...I think you'll find the novel worthwhile if you do...
