Book Reviews of Seven Deadly SinsBook Review: HooWEE what a stinker! Summary: 1 Stars
OK, to be fair: I bought this book because I thought it was by a different Michael Bishop. I'm sure I'm not the only person who's made this mistake. Once I got it home and started reading, I realized what a terrible, terrible mistake I had made. Put simply, this book stinks on ice. I'm not sure if "Checkmate Publishing" is a vanity press, but clearly they don't employ any editors. When a book uses the phrase "for all intentional purposes", and someone is described as having "bloody whelps" on their neck, you know you're in for some trouble. The writing is on a high school level, at best, the story is mundane and fairly uninteresting, and the "shocking" ending is shockingly obvious. The only thing that kept me reading was the slight amusement of finding the next grotesque warping of the English language. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Horror fans can do MUCH better than this.
Summary of Seven Deadly SinsHow far would you go to achieve ultimate power and have your every dream fulfilled? Would you steal for it? Would you torture for it? Would you kill for it? For Ramond Jamison, these questions are all too real. In a world where he is surrounded by love and goodness, a darker path has revealed itself to him. A path that offers his every fantasy. A path that bestows his every want, and asks for only one thing in return... His SOUL. The lives he touches along the way will forever be changed. Each victim feels their own unique and distinct pain. A torment that not only causes them great suffering, but affects all those around them. The road that leads Ramond to his every desire is not paved with godl, but instead is formed with the blood and tears of all those who stand in his way. It's a road of destruction and death, and in the end the one he hurts the most may just be HIMSELF. When playing Devil's advocate is a way of life, BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR, IT JUST MAY GET YOU.
