A review by avalanti
The Last Act of Adam Campbell by Andy Jones
5.0
This was definitely not the kind of book I normally pick up, but I was intrigued by the idea of a morally-grey character (due to the cheating mentioned in the decription) and the concept of a personality-diverse cast, especially since many of the character types mentioned are not typical.
Firstly, I wasn't expecting the varied POV, and at first I was a bit put off by it, but by the end I was so interested in all of the character's stories I wouldn't want it any other way.
My grandfather died of cancer, and at first I thought this would make me dislike the novel, but I actually found it extremely cathartic to see the very many ways each of these people and their families deal with their situations.
I couldn't put this book down once I started it, and read the whole thing in a few days. I'm not the kind of person who cries at books, but if you are - this will absolutely get you.
