Angakok by David Alan Morrison
4.0
David Alan Morrison either has way too many characters running around in his head or he has no clue how to write a book. I’m going with too many characters in his head because the storyline is very interesting. Angakok is a story with many of those characters. A few of the characters will make you wonder why they are even in the story at all and I have to admit at times I was a little confused.
This story is about past lives and revenge and having an open mind about all things. So I kept my mind open and found this story pretty good. While this type of story isn’t my usual cup of tea it certainly held my interest and I do recommend it to others, especially those who like a little mystery with some adventure.
I was going to give this story three stars about half way through but luckily I like to finish a story before giving a review. So by the time I was finished reading I knew that four stars were well deserved.
David Alan Morrison gives his characters personalities all their own. Mrs. Jeremy made me laugh even when she was trying to be serious. She was so matter of fact and worldly at the same time.
“People who embrace logic tended to lose their souls without realizing that while they might survive with half a brain, they’d die without a dream.”
This story holds a lot of information about different beliefs which is where having an open mind as a reader helps.
“ANGAKOK— an Inuit term for a shaman— usually of the “third sex” or homosexual, who holds the power to access the sacred mysteries of life ; one who can travel to other planes of existence to retrieve information to save innocents from harm.”
I am looking forward to reading more by David Alan Morrison.
