Review of Stolid
Posted: 31 Jul 2024, 09:23
[Following is a volunteer review of "Stolid" by Aaron D Key.]
Stolid by Aaron D. Key revolves around a young man of the same name. He finds himself drenched in the rain on a strange night, with no recollection of how he ended up there. The onlookers looked at him with disdain, and no one seemed to come to his aid. Then the last car drives by and assists him. Stolid falls asleep in the vehicle, and when he wakes up, they arrive at a location. He meets that strange man in the car, and he feels like he is about to get kidnapped or something; however, this paranoia doesn't lead him to go because he feels like he has met this man before; perhaps he was a kind of service person who we see every day in some coffee shop or record store. Stolid allows this man to make his case, and as he tries to recall, readers are thrown into a series of flashbacks that show Stolid's life.
This book makes me think about my life. I found enough lessons to learn from Stolid's life. His approach to love and friendship is profound. I was rooting for Stolid a lot in those flashbacks. I wanted a happy ending for him, but it was a flashback, and I thought to myself that there was no way those relationships would end well for him. I like how the author has a sense of time, as you cannot get lost in the flashbacks. You can easily understand the time in which a narrative is set. The book is occasionally divided into sections, and this boosts its appeal.
I found nothing to dislike about the book. The book has no negative aspects, and the author has done a perfect job writing it. I understand that these books are part of a series; however, they can function well as a stand-alone. When it comes to editing, this book stands out because, all through the book, I found no grammatical errors on its pages. The book is properly edited, and I owe this success to the author's writing prowess.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. It deserves this rating for the exceptional manner in which it executes its narrative. I recommend it to fans of dark thrillers, and this book is set to entertain them. I also recommend it to readers over the age of 18, as some of its content might prove sensitive to some parts of society.
