Some Kind of Truth by Westley Smith Blog Tour and Book Review

 

I received this book as a gift.

Steve James is a rough-around-the-edges reporter who is quite realistic in his thoughts about himself. He likes to smoke and he likes to drink, maybe a bit too much. Two traits which bring to mind a fellow sitting behind a desk, cigarette hanging from his lips, glass of whiskey off to the side, mulling over some of his notes to compose a concise, yet truthful story. Yeah, I like Mr. James … I like Mr. James a lot. He’s real. He also has a quest, as a reporter, to find the truth. Such is the case when he received an unexpected package with some unexpected items inside which led him to find out what really happened to Rebecca.

This quest for truth led him to work with another reporter, Amy.

The story of Rebecca led both Steve and Amy down a very dark road.

I enjoyed this tale in all of its rawness, its darkness, if you will; the scenes described, while a bit on the ‘too realistic’ side for some readers, made it all the more real. One scene in particular made me squint my eyes.

What I really liked about this book … I was able to see in my mind’s eye the scenes described. That usually doesn’t happen for me, but it did with this one because of the way in which the author used words to convey even the most horrid of scenes.

I liked the way the author was able to give the characters personalities that I could relate to. This is one of those books that may stay with me for a minute or two simply because of the writing style, the way the author was able to capture those scenes with just words alone. That’s an art form that I appreciate.

Side Note: I’ve been recommending this book a lot.
