Aaron Starks,
a young college student, is finally moving into his own apartment off campus. What
does one really expect when you have four guys living together? Beer, parties,
chicks—the usual, of course. That’s how
Aaron pictured how life would be….until he meets Jessica.
Although the
writing style was fairly average, the characters, in general, were expressly
unique and relatable. Story had some
areas that were compelling and others that were a tad mundane. However, it
maintains a consistent flow throughout, never lagging for too long.
Mystery and
drama are keys in this basic, yet intriguing, prose, which surrounds the life
of our Aaron. The odd thing was the occasional blackout he would experience.
Blackouts were bad enough, but why was he seeing and hearing things during his
wake? What was wrong? Was he going insane? And could it have anything to do
with what happened in college?
“The monkey’s drive and will to live continues even after it has been
crushed.” It’s called the wind down effect. (127)
It had a
slow beginning, but it picks up rather quickly about half way through.
Suddenly, one questions the difference between reality and illusion, and then you
have to see how it all ends.
A
simplistically rendered tale, Wind Down
is a perplexing race against time, scavenging in the dark depths of a foggy
memory, to seek out Aaron’s killer and save his energy source.
A quick and
easy read!
My rating: 3.5 stars
