Review of Duplicity
The story starts off with Daniel, a kid who likes lorries, but one day an incident happened which made him hate them more than anything in the world. He had a normal family in the beginning, a father named Tom, a mother named Alison, and a sister Jenny. But one day they find out that Alison has got cancer, and she won't be here for long. They all lost hope, cause their whole life was dependent on her. Tom had a temper issue, but Alison was able to handle it, Jenny was still little at that time, so Alison was the one who played with her the most and Alison was the one who helped Danny in all his school work. How will they live without her, they didn't know?
After some time, Tom got into serious drinking, and Danny started to hate him because he didn't tell Danny a little earlier about his mother's condition. And when Alison died, Danny had become really distant from his family and after some time he wasn't himself anymore. He left his house and shifted to an apartment, and after a while he found a roommate, Waqar. Waqar was a nice guy at first, but then everyone is nice to you when they want something from you. Waqar pulled Danny into himself and made him a completely different person, a person that we all will despise and yet understand at the end.
The things that I liked about Duplicity by Fin C. Gray is that it was written in a most intriguing manner. The story, the plot, the character building, everything was just perfect. And the book deals with very sensitive and heavy topics but still the author managed to do an amazing job by bringing the things as normally as he could, not a single thing seemed like it was forced, everything just felt so real. At times, I felt sorry for the characters, especially Tom, as it was most difficult for him to bear with everything that was happening. And all this made it a crisp read at the end.
There was nothing as such that I did not like in this book. It was well written and felt quite real while reading. It was well edited, as I did not find many errors in it.
I would rate this book 4 out of 4 stars as it was a great read. And I would recommend this book to people who like to read stories that feel like they are really happening in this world, or with which they're familiar with. As this book contains some profane and vulgar scenes, so if you don't like them, you can skip it. And this book felt really dark, and it deals with a lot of different things that a person can endure in their life, so if you are into that, I would recommend you go for it.
