Yes, this is a 5 star book.
But warning, there is R-rated language
But warning, there is R-rated language
There is no specific main character in the book to talk about, as it is a collection of short stories. Some of them are odd, but still interesting. Some of them leave you hanging, but eventually they come together and a more complete picture emerges as the stories blend. It's like a glimpse of what WE see as opposed to what GOD sees... We see happy bits, sad bits, and bits of what doesn't make sense at times, but God sees it all as blending to one creative story He's putting together.
The author mentions, before the book starts, that we may be a bit surprised at the profanity used in some of the stories. Yes, it made me wince a few times, but we've all watched R-rated movies and know this is how the world talks, and the characters he uses in some of the stories just wouldn't get away with saying, "Gosh, could you flippin put that down?" It's just plain realistic. In a possible autobiographical way, one of the characters in some of the stories is also an Army journalist. You get to see him face some tough stuff and work out what he needs to get through it.
Michel Sauret is a creative author, there's no denying it, and this book shows that creativity in abundance. I actually went back and re-read many of the stories to refresh my memory as to why they related to the one I was reading at the time. It was actually just as fun the second time as the first.
Read it. I can't see how you'd be disappointed!
