DeadStar: Who the hell was Garth Tyson? by Nick Griffiths

3.0

I’d like to thank Zoe from Zooloo’s Book Tours for contacting me to take part in this blog tour.

When I read the synopsis of this one I was intrigued. I too wondered what had happened to Garth Tyson and why he suddenly vanished. This story had a slightly different layout to my usual reads but I found it quite refreshing. The interview style of telling the story gave all of the characters a chance to voice their side of the story. The constant banter between Roy and Gary often had me smirking and you could see how strong their friendship was.

Of all the characters I liked Sally, Garth’s sister, the best. She too had grown up in an awful house with parents that were either absent or abusive. She idolised her big brother and always encouraged his love of music and attempts at fame. Her story planned out in the best way possible and I felt of all the characters she had overcome so big issues by telling her side of the story.

This is the perfect read for anyone craving that nostalgic 70/80’s music vibe. It’s a very well researched story and I had to remind myself quite often that it was a work of fiction.
