A review by bookshortie
It Will Be Quick by Karl Drinkwater
4.0
This book consists of 16 individual stories of humanity, endurance and spirit. Each story is unique in itself and different to the one that you'll read before it. What made the stories stand out is that all of the characters are relatable and normal people that you may walk past regularly. The stories just felt very real as did the characters and the situations they found themselves in. Each character is faced with a scenario and their decision will ultimately impact on their future and the lives of the people around them.
Some of the stories were unsettling, haunting and sinister which made you want to read more and really made you think. The story that stayed with me even after I’d finished the book was recalling the boy.
The author’s notes on each story at the end of the book was a nice touch and it was interesting to see what inspired him to write each story.
If you like short stories that include themes of survival, hope, decisions, loss and realisation then this is the book for you.
I received a gifted copy for an honest review.
