Review of The FBI Inspector
[Following is a volunteer review of "The FBI Inspector" by Jay Dubya.]
I have had a great interest in thrillers, ever since I have started reading books, which is why I chose to read the book The FBI Inspector. I really wanted to read this book, as I thought, I would enjoy solving the puzzles and riddles, that tie up the stories. The book contains 26, very well thought short stories, with different crime scenarios.
Though the stories were good, I must say that, I was a little bit saddened by the way, the stories were narrated. The stories, revolves around the main character, Joe Giralo, the FBI inspector, as the title refers to. I was wanting to use a little of my curiosity, to solve the crimes, but, Joe Giralo never gave me a chance. As if, consumed by some powers he almost arrives at the solutions out of nowhere. Most of the time, we do not know how, or where Joe, gets his intuition and information, which turns out to be correct every time. There are three other faithful inspectors Sal, Arty, and Dan, who assist him at his job, and, these inspectors do nothing, but to wait for their chief to explain, how he nabbed the case. It might occur, that the chief is overdoing his job, and the rest of the characters are baseless. There are few interesting historical facts, but, there are few other incidents, that have nothing to do with the story, which made a, not very interesting read.
I felt that the author, Jay Dubya, could have chosen simple words to narrate the story. There are many conversations, happening in an old literature way, that I doubt if anyone could make conversations like that in today’s reality. There are sentences like, “That's about the best that I can express to you Guys the whole 'ordinary' theory-development process that to you initially seems 'extraordinary'! Each isolated fact is a separate dot, and I somehow just have a certain uncanny knack which enables me to skillfully connect the formerly unrelated dots.” Instead, it could have simply been “ All you have to do is to connect the dots”. But, I must also mention, that I got a chance to learn few words, which I would say is, another pro of this book.
I am rating "2 out of 4", for this book, as it could have been made more interesting. I understand that the author is a major in English, and hence, he has chosen more intricate phrases for his book. But that very essence might make the readers dull.
I recommend this book for people, who are die-hard fans of crime and thriller genres.
