Review of You, The People
[Following is a volunteer review of "You, The People" by Pablo Digenio.]
The book, You, The People by Pablo Digenio, is a book about; a self-absorbed woman whose own selfishness would be her undoing; a man whose past would eventually catch up to him; an extremely troubled man whose actions are irredeemable; one, who unbeknownst to him seeks redemption; an addict that wastes his potential; and a woman who would face the mistakes of her past…to put it all lightly.
There are constants fights between good and evil, morality and immorality, with not just the characters but us the reader as well. Depending on what one believes they may find this book to provide a combination of reality and the mythological; or a true sense of what lies after death, in the darkest mysteries of the world.
I genuinely appreciate the creepy and airy art style that already serves as a foreshadowing of what the book holds. The book completely captivates you with its dark themes and surprises you with even more sinister twists.
If there was one grievance I have with this book; it would be that the author seems to intend this book to relate and connect to its readers, in terms of how they view the morality or immorality of the characters portrayed and how they can somehow see themselves in their shoes yet judge those same characters. I am certain that the characters portrayed in the book are also people who can and do exist in the real world and may in some way or another be similar to the different characters portrayed in the book. Hence, they are not too farfetched, however, since the author seems to want to make the reader question the characters and maybe even imagine themselves in their shoes, I feel the characters being portrayed in the book were just too out of touch with me the reader, I simply could not imagine myself in their shoes, as immersed as I was with the book. I would have liked if these characters were more relatable to the ordinary person in different aspects of life that the readers can find themselves relating to, therefore, having a deeper conflict with the characters and their own morality.
I rate the book a 4 out of 4 stars because it is absolutely brilliant and despite my one negative view of the book it is still a wonderful, captivating, and chilling read; which is just what I enjoy. This rating also takes into account some of the minor errors, hence, all-in-all I would say the book was professionally edited.
I recommend You, the People to an adult audience, because of its sexually explicit content and intense gore. You may equally enjoy this book as a lover of thrillers and the supernatural.
