erinngillespie 's review for:
Brother
by David Chariandy
I'm going to take a break from my regular video review to do a written one as I am tending to a sick cat and am not in any frame of mind to make a video . So I just finished the book and I have to say it was very good . A simple and painful view of the death and live of a brother and the other "death" of the mother. The sorrow and pain is palpable though out this book . I spent my time wanting to find out what happened next and almost afraid of the new pain that would be shown in the next page. None of the characters seemed to really catch a break here and in this story the cops were ,really the villain. It was really interesting to read a Canadian point of view . I cant say it was an enjoyable read but, it was a potent read . One that will show you that life is really not as bad as you think and that it can always be worse.
Now on to the actual construction of the book , here is were I was not as impressed. Firstly, the cover art is harsh to look at and every unpleasant to the eye and blurry witch does not call you to read. There was also page breaks as if for new chapters with no chapter numbers on them , this I found really upset the flow of the read. Other then that the writing was very real to the time and the chapters (as they are) are short and makes you feel as though you are reading quickly witch is a plus . All in all this book has a forever home with me because when I feel life sucks I will read this and feel better .
