Lights Out

I wrote this on my other blog before I decided to add this one. I really liked the book and felt it was worth two blog mentions.

 My most recent book, a few books ago now, was Lights Out by David Crawford. Another book that caught my eye while at the library and glad that it did. The book is wonderfully written in a fashion that you can't help but wonder what happens next. From the first paragraph your attention is grasped and held right up until the very end, there is one chapter I could have done without but as I read through the book after I realized how important some of the conversation that occurred in that chapter was. The book discusses a topic that is at the heart of who we are, the possibilities of what we become in the face of adversity, and how hard it is to hang onto our ideals while changing them to fit our current situations. I have to admit that as I read i couldn't help but wonder, what would I do? For some readers who do not care for violence it maybe difficult at points but given the basis the book is written on it wouldn't be a book with out it. As a person who tends to put emphasis on the ending, I can say that I wasn't disappointed, in the slightest. I will be waiting with many others to to read David Crawford's next book Lost and Found.
