- Latest Review: The Pale Flesh of Wood by Elizabeth A. Tucker
Deviating from the traditional protagonist-antagonist structure, Duggin uniquely weaves a plot with overlapping relationships between Catherine, Donald, and Steven. None of these three central characters is necessarily evil. Each is hurting, lost, and seeking for better. In short, they are all functional but flawed. Steven is a dreamer – that talented but a little strange university professor. On the other hand, Donald is a no-clue-why-I am-to-blame workaholic. These, and some supporting characters are very relatable.
I love this because in real-life circumstances are often some shade of gray, not black and white. People have good and bad aspects, and conflicts have many subtle nuances.
This was a superb review, a genuine pleasure to read it. Congratulations!

True, real life is hardly predictable and people rarely perfect.

Aww, thanks for your kind words. At least you can relate with some of the things in the book. I hope you get to read it and it doesn't disappoint. I truly appreciate your stopping by!Mounce574 wrote: ↑15 Aug 2020, 15:40 First off, you reviewed this book in the perfect way I wish all my reviews were written. I want to read this book because I have to know what every character did in this situation. While this is a fiction book, it seems to be replaying life events I have gone through.
