[Following is a volunteer review of "Guardian of Deceit" by William H. Coles.]
You must have read books about how a young person's life is destroyed because some unforeseen events. This book is somewhat like that only. Guardian Of Deceit by William H. Coles is a book about an orphan boy who had to change everything in his life to live peacefully.
The story begins with Darwin, a teenage boy who is leaving her aunt because she got ill with a disease and moving to one of his cousin's place. He lost his parents at a young age in a car accident, but they did leave him enough savings to finish his education. Darwin was a good student and wanted to become a doctor, until he met his cousin, Luther. Luther was a man of work, he didn't believe in studying as he came from nothing and had everything now. He is a football player and earns more than enough money. But he refuses to give Darwin any of his parents' savings saying he ought to earn money at that age. Darwin started to do chores for which he was compensated fairly. He somehow managed to keep his studies on point in a public school with the help of his personal tutors. But slowly he found out stuff about Luther that he was hiding from almost everyone he knew. What was the secret? Did Darwin finish his education? To know the answer to all these questions grab a copy of the book and start reading.
The thing that I liked about the book is its writing style. The author has done a great job at showing us how everything happened in Darwin's life step by step and how everything affected him differently. Although the book felt a little slow it was interesting at the same time. Keeping the reader's mind focused on what's going on and how everything can change with just one bad decision. The vocabulary used by the author is pretty easy to understand as well, and I had quite a nice pace while reading the book. It has small chapters, which makes it easier for me to finish it even faster as my mind likes it that way.
There is a fair amount of profanity in the book as it's not an educational book of any sort. The erotic scenes are not too much but they are there and some of them are not meant for everyone I must say. If you're a light hearted person you should probably skip through those parts, not the whole book. I found a few grammatical mistakes in the book, not enough to degrade a star, so that's a good thing. And they didn't affect my flow of reading so yeah, that's that.
One thing that I didn't like was the amount of characters the book has. I mean a lot of them have a role in the book but some of them are just there for no specific reason. But it was fine, as the author has done a great job in blending them in. So I have no complaints about the book.
In the end, I'd ratebthis book 4 out of 4 stars because of the storyline and the development of the characters. I'd recommend it to people who like the suspense-thriller genre and enjoy a little bit of family drama too.
