I used to have one rule when it came to buying books. Don't buy self-published. There's usually something wrong with them that prevented agents and publishers from picking them up and I don't want to waste my hard earned cash on something that might not be worth it. Having said all of that, I have been finding myself increasingly disappointed with what's on offer at the big bookshops recently. I was telling a friend about how everyone wants to be the next Ben Elton, Paulo Coelho or Nick Hornby and about how there's so little truly original thinking on the bookshelves these days. My friend's face lit up and from beneath a pile of papers she produced a book. A new book.
The front cover was grey, the back was black and there were very few words on the exterior. There were no bullying press statements telling me that I had to read this book or I'd be killed. There was no long blurb ruining the story. It was just a book. Its name was End. and it was by an author of which I I do not know anything to go by the name of the person Jonashuton. And it is a self-published book that has not changed his opinion as well as ever, many other things to change the way I think.
I have to work one day with me on the train and took a thin book not expecting much from him to tell the truth. Many of these novel criteria, just flip through a short notice to work a little irregular structure, the usual cup of tea I can say it is not. IfIt was not the announcer on the train, I missed my stop. "Fascinating" is not the word.
The basic premise of the story is relatively simple, yet rare. When military officials acknowledge the existence of their own end of a series of meetings and airy, whether in the world, you have to choose whether or not continued. Ashton breathtaking style and write a wide range of uses literary tools to address this sad story and I think differentFear, loss, love and suffering.
Novel and rich theology and philosophical debate about the election, and characters that I have not seen Fitzgerald I believe that reading Faulkner for his readers the story of language and life do not overwhelm him the use of the beautiful. All the "examiner" (anonymous letter read) If you feel is too much, eventually you feel what you are left with a new interest in their beliefsknow.
The book has a couple of rough edges. It might be a little on the short side, but that only leaves you wanting more from this prodigious new talent. The style of writing is very raw, and though the conceptual parts of it are pulled off masterfully, there might be a little more characterisation needed to attract the trash-fiction readers of this world.
Quibbles and qualms aside, this book is intelligent and intriguing. It moves you, it scares you, and it makes you think about Relationship with God, and death in the world. The first novel, moves to the end. While something really special, I can not praise him enough. Well done to Mr Ashton. Well certainly is completed.
