Damned are the Meek by Stuart Friedman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book has an interesting story about three siblings trying to make it on their own with nothing going their way. This leads to risks taken and prices paid for those chances.
I didn’t understand when i pulled this book from the staff that it was heavy with sexual parts, something I try to avoid and big reason i don’t rea contemporary novels. It’s wedged into this story in an annoying way that only damages the whole.
The actual story and the sexual parts are individually written well, but together is an unbalanced story. The combination leads to an abrupt ending that makes the reader wonder what is the real end.
The characters are good and the dialogue is very good. Settings are also well done. As written, the writing is otherwise good. it’s the forced sex that downs the book.
Bottom line: i don’t recommend this book. 4 out of 10 points.
