[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Armour Of light" by Andrew Webb.]
The Armour of Light is a book by Andrew Webb. The events portrayed in this book are based on true events. Steve Harrison and his wife and son, Natalie and Alex, moved into their new home located on the Surrey-Hampshire border. When they got there, Steve switched on the heater to warm the rooms. But on getting to the biggest room, to his surprise, he found the room to be chill. He resorted to using electric fires, yet the temperature of the room stayed unchanged. They passed the incident off as simply because no one had inhabited the house for a long time, which made the air stagnant. Unknown to them at the time was the knowledge that the house was haunted. After a series of paranormal episodes, their enormous suspicion was verified. The house was haunted. They contacted some pastors to carry out an exorcism, but the house stood in defiance of the exorcism. They had just moved into the house, so leaving wasn't an option. Will they be successful in chasing the ghosts haunting the house away?
I found some aspects of the book worth commending. There wasn't a plethora of characters in the narrative, and because of this, readers weren't given the stressful chore of memorizing many names. The author's writing style was easy to understand without the use of ambiguous terminology that might have confused readers. The storyline is engaging, and my attention was maintained throughout the reading. The conclusion of the book was unexpected, as I had made up a different scenario of how it would end. Nonetheless, this sufficiently portrays the unpredictability of the book. It was good to discover that the author gave the reason for such a climax.
Although it was only a sentence and could easily be skipped or neglected by readers, I appreciated that it was present in the book. It was Julia's advice to Alex. She advised him to clean his teeth before going to bed, as he had eaten enough cake earlier in the day. This goes a long way toward portraying the importance of proper hygiene. Washing the teeth before sleeping every night will get rid of bacteria that might grow in there and also greatly improve one's oral health.
I found Natalie's behavior after the tragic incident that happened to Steve appalling. She moved on rather quickly, and I was left wondering if she loved Steve. Her stubbornness also irked me. She was advised by her neighbor, Lena, to avoid going out for some time because of a bad dream she had been having. But she didn't take the advice, and what could have been easily avoided occurred. I was heartbroken.
I'll rate this book four out of five stars. I noticed uncountable numbers of wrong uses of punctuation marks, coupled with grammar and spelling errors. This sufficiently depicts that the level of editing carried out on the book is extremely poor. The plot is intriguing, but the presence of errors disrupts its smooth flow. To remedy this and make the book perfect, I'll advise the author to subject this book to another round of meticulous editing.
I recommend The Armour of Light to readers who are enthusiasts of books with storylines incorporating supernatural and paranormal themes. This book wouldn't be suitable for kids because of the incessant use of profanities.
