The BookViral Review:
A deeply affecting portrait of life in a rapidly changing bygone world, Wyandotte Bound embraces the allure of old-school and revisionist westerns whilst remaining wholly original.
It’s a captivating novel by George T. Arnold. Opening with an unforgettable scene: a reluctant gunslinger and the harsh reality of a gunfight. An extraordinary image, and one which, by the novel’s end, will have become even more powerful because of the contrast it represents.
And so begins a page-turning saga that stretches across several decades. It’s not particularly fast-paced, but necessarily so, patiently offering vital exposition through a succession of richly developed and colourful characters.
There’s Jesse with his acute sense of his own apartness, and his search for a place in the world and Frederick who seeks a stronger sense of purpose than his family’s wealth dictates.
Through them and Arnold’s other characters, there’s a profound meditation on family, friendship, foreignness and home as he draws on literary and cinematic western traditions to conjure something completely fresh and most importantly authentic.
In a genre that has its ups and downs, Wyandotte Bound proves an outstanding read and is recommended without reservation.
A cerebral new time travelling thriller that’s considerably more contemplative than the vast majority of genre releases Future’s Dark Past proves a stylish head trip. A read that teases the brain and touches the heart as its twists and turns keep multiplying whilst never losing sight of the need for narrative sustainability.
A guiltily pleasurable read, the charm of James’ Barwell Trilogy has stemmed from its vivid and unique characterizations and the final release in James’ trilogy will certainly meet the expectations of her readers.
We are constantly and enduringly fascinated with fictional accounts of parallel existence, alternative realities and genetic engineering. Films such as ‘The Fountain’ present immortality as attainable, whilst books such as ‘The Book Thief’ (Markus Zusak) explore the nature of death, in this case by death himself acting as narrator.
You know the ones! The edge of your seat, knuckle gnawing, nail biting books. So, what makes for a good plot. Is there a magic recipe? Or is it just potluck?
Constant speed-reading and jumping from one hyperlink to the next have subconsciously trained our minds to absorb information superficially
