The BookViral Review:
A finely tuned medical thriller with cleverly orchestrated twists that add up to a highly suspenseful read The Syrian Heart is a novel that lovers of intelligent, measured storytelling will embrace. A provocative read that initially unsettles then disturbs and will finally leave you reflecting on the moral imperative of organ harvesting.
Soundly executed, smart and fast-paced, Rowley takes a plausible central scenario, and delivers a power-packed narrative, but whilst an increasing number of reads in the genre centre on protagonists who are overly masochistic, Rowley genuinely breaks the mould with enigmatic philanthropist James Rowan who is living on borrowed time.
With a multi-layered plot, Rowley’s narrative evokes a strong sense of place, moral choices, immoral certainties and human nature whilst being a poignant reflection of the times we live in and a damming critique on a National Health Service which has become crippled by bureaucracy.
The enduring sorrow of those waiting for heart transplants is ripe for drama and Rowley grapples with provocative concepts in thoughtful terms whilst demonstrating a sure hand for staging scenes, creating strong characters and setting a tone.
Far too many novels abandon their soul by solving everything with their endings but life doesn’t have neat endings and to this end, Rowley places narrative and character arc at the centre of Rowan’s emotional and conflicted journey. Resisting the urge to reduce everything to a simplistic standoff between right and wrong whilst leaving readers curiously touched by a man who has stooped to murder and with more than a little by way of social commentary on which to reflect.
A finely tuned and suspenseful read The Syrian Heart has all the hallmarks and panache of a first-rate bestseller and is recommended without reservation!
Robert Beverly’s soul-searching and the faith-affirming memoir “Jesus & The Girl In The Orange Bikini’ delves bravely into the unscripted events which drive our lives, using an honest and often self-deprecating account of his own life.
There’s all the drama and sensibilities expected of the Teen & Young Adult Romantic Fantasy genre with a sprightly narrative and richly layered detail that creates a genuine sense of time and place. But what makes Galloay’s novel most notable is her unerring ability to delve into the minds of her characters who she vividly brings to life.
Never before has the voice of social commentary in literature sung higher. Freedom of speech has brought with it a cacophony of loudly spoken, written and sometimes harshly promoted opinion and judgement.
The best you can bring to the reading adventure is your imagination, sense of humor, and your love of reading. Playing with a child with ASD can be enjoyable and enlightening. That playtime is also fertile ground for planting the seeds of reading.
When it comes to burn out Authors are probably the last group of people you would think off! But the publishing industry has changed beyond recognition and the demands of a modern author are significantly more complex than they were a mere decade ago.
The last year has demonstrated that people will not stop buying books. They offer pleasure, escape, entertainment, and at the very least distraction. But what is the future of self-publishing?
