Review of Morrow's Con
[Following is a volunteer review of "Morrow's Con" by Earl James.]
This is the tale of a clever theft that Morrow and his wide-ranging group of associates organized. In order to pull off one more robbery, Morrow gathers a group of outcasts to steal Gabriel's Steed, a renowned artwork from intriguing LeBlanc. Morrow and his newly formed crew are pushed to the edge as the clock runs out, testing their relationship and revealing secrets. will their well-laid scheme fall apart? or will they defeat their opponents and win the grand prize? read this beautiful piece of art to find out.
I find the themes of trust and betrayal skillfully and artistically embedded in the fabric of the story. At its core, it is a story about just how fragile trust can be and how betrayal, when it does happen, can break the bonds between relationships and shatter plans in an absolute instant. Reading through the novel, I saw the themes at work themselves in the actions of characters like Morrow, Tara, and Arthur. Trust, in the entire story, has been seen to be gained through struggles and yet so easily lost. I enjoyed the part where Morrow earned trust in his team, his ability to pull off the con, and most importantly of all, from Edwin, the things he learned.
I don't have any dislikes for this book's dialogue. Earl James is a master at getting the words just right to bring his characters to life. Conversations between them feel so real, and how the characters speak to one another with sharp wit and clear, distinct voices reveals itself in the very way as to what they're all about. For instance, the banter between Morrow and Tara, while entertaining, is full of meaning and subtext.
From this sparring of their words, I sense the tension between them, grudging respect, and even the slightest unspoken comradeship that deepens their relationship. This is the type of dialogue that makes the characters feel like flesh-and-blood people with difficult emotions and motivations. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free.
If I were to give a critique of Morrow's Con, I would give 5 out of 5 stars rating. The nature of the storyline is a mix of suspense and human brainwork in a captivating manner which is why. Each character has a few crazed things that make them different from others. The conversations are quick-witted, keeping the book lively with cheerful moments between people. This novel is suitable for individuals who are fond of cleverly woven stories and characters with different qualities and themes of slyness as well as trickery. I recommend it to anyone who is into suspenseful plots with unexpected endings.
