Review of SCHULL; BOOK 1; VOLUME 1; THE INTRODUCTION STORY NO.1
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "SCHULL; BOOK 1; VOLUME 1; THE INTRODUCTION STORY NO.1" by Killian Schull.]
When his wife Julie died, Donovan already had a suspect, Eamon Glenrose. He had been working on Glenrose's estate, and Glenrose had even accused him of wanting to steal from him. The conversation had become heated. Donovan thought Glenrose was evil. Therefore, when his wife had an accident and died, Donovan had to find out the truth. This is when he hears the story of baby Killian Thomas Schull. He was now determined to find the truth, but at what cost? Was there something worth learning about Julie's past that he did not know? She was the love of his life! To add on, there were his competitors, Phillip and Jack, that he had to think of.
Right from the start, the author was very descriptive. From Glenrose's estate and his style, the actions, the characters emotions, and even describing the supernatural, like The Schull's appearance. Sinking into the book and the setting of this side of Ireland is the best introduction. The fact that I knew nothing about Julie and her life and was open to learning the truth, just like Donovan, who was in the dark, included a hint of mystery and suspense.
I have yet to see a unique plot as that of Schull: Book 1; Volume 1; The Introduction Story No. 1 by Killian Schull. The different concepts that were introduced made the book read more like a philosophy book. The good and the bad, and even an exploration of unconscious evil. What is mortality, and what do mortals really treasure? What is there after death, and what change is grief really capable of inflicting? Donovan transitions through the book. We get to see how the disaster that befell him and the actions that happened later on had an impact on his life.
However, despite these aspects, I found some lacking. The book, especially the beginning, is more conversation than action. This may be a subjective opinion, but action makes the book feel alive. This is resolved in the final half but may be a turn-off for readers who would like to jump into action, like me. Furthermore, I found that the text had too many unnecessary commas. Additionally, there are grammar errors that show the book needs more editing.
All in all, my rating comes down to 3 out of 5 stars. One for the grammar, the other for the negatives mentioned. Regardless, I highly recommend the book for those interested in thrillers and philosophy. It is almost close to understanding good and evil. The difference between the Donovan at the beginning of the book and that at the end and what really happens with and runs in the minds of men like Glenrose.
