Review: DREAMS OF A BROKEN MAN by Roger Bray

While living out his days in a jail cell, Alex battles with restless nights and dreams.  The bulk of this is mostly on court procedures and the political red tape of Alex’s case, which we have no idea how he managed to get a case in the first place. What did he do? Oh, yes, he’s convicted for the murder of his wife. Obviously, it takes a while to arrive at this notion.

Needless to say, the court jargon and legal procedures were kind of dull.

Reading through this, I sometimes wondered what this was really about. Was this a man recalling a past once lived? Or was this a man living only in his dreams? What was his ultimate goal—to be released from the penitentiary or the prison of his own mind? I mean, where was this all going? I didn’t quite understand, and you certainly have to weed through a long and bushy plot to be able to see somewhat.

The story was certainly well-versed, but it lacked clarity and interest.
