Review of Molly Mee The Awakening
The awakening follows a girl named Molly Mee, the protagonist, who narrates the story. Molly was born into a poor family of nine and is frequently dubbed a ‘freak’. From endurance to retribution and hurt, she bears it all from her family, finding more comfort with strangers. Depressed and hopeless about life, Molly longs for death until she comes to understand why she is on earth in the first place.
Readers can learn about how important it is to connect with their purpose, stand firm against the horrible circumstances of life, and fight for themselves. Like Molly, it is important to believe we are worth it, no matter how long it takes. However, the advantages of this book are few. The story focuses on the longstanding battle between good and evil, giving elements like the ego, heart, mind, and soul excessive speaking and thinking abilities that project a sense of unrealism. Furthermore, this book is riddled with so many grammatical and repetitive spelling errors that it's a wonder how it got published in the first place. This was a huge impediment to my reading process because I had to spend time writing out many of these errors.
The plot is haphazardly built and infinitely boring, containing too much repetitive monologue and dialogue between abstract elements and excessive lamentations about mankind. The author’s attempts at suspense and intrigue are scarce and pitiful, to say the least. Characterization might take some effort, but it is imbued with limited dimensions, which means the characters can be forgotten in the blink of an eye. The writing style is descriptive and simplistic, and there is some attention to detail lodged within descriptions, but without wordplay, it is boring and forgettable.
I would never rate this book high on my list of enjoyable and thrilling fiction books. In fact, it would never make the list at all. Since I can't recommend this book to anyone, I recommend that this writer take time out to learn storytelling, writing, and editing techniques if he or she ever dreams about writing another book so that another reader is not subjected to this mental torture. All I wanted as I kept reading was for the book to just come to an end. This experience is enough justification to rate this book, Molly Mee: The Awakening by J. M. Duckworth, one out of five stars.
