Review: DEVOUR by David Temple

 


Michael is a family man raising his daughter.

There were some issues with the Kindle formatting because some sentences would often be repeated into the next page and some sections were skipped over entirely, making it hard to follow the story and read.

From what I could gather, the writing was pretty good overall. In a way, there were 2 stories in 1—one concerning Michael and his family, and the other concerning the prisons. The sequence was a bit odd as you don’t really see the connection right away. Very descriptive on scenery and landmarks. The plot is ambiguous, often leaving the reader wondering without any concrete answers. Story had a lot of lengthy preludes with no definitive direction. I kept on reading in the hopes that it would eventually become clear.

The story had potential to be something thrilling and exciting, but it just landed on sheer mediocrity and vagueness. Rather than wanting to devour, this book just left me hungry still.

 

My rating: 3 stars
