kviv 's review for:
A Version of the Truth
by B.P. Walter
I received a free copy of "A Version of the Truth" from Avon Books UK in exchange for my honest review.
I'm not really sure what this book was trying to be. Was it a thriller? A commentary on the MeToo movement? A coming of age story? The author tried to fit too many ideas into one lackluster and disappointing read. There were graphic and salacious scenes just for the shock factor. You can include graphic content in a tasteful way, but this wasn't an example of that.
The dual timelines didn't help propel the story and only tangentially tied together at the very end. The ending was overly dramatic and unbelievable. The epilogue didn't offer hardly any closure and left the story unresolved. Wasn't a fan of this one.
