I have recently joined a group dedicated to reviewing books. Here is my first review, and it is for 'Johnny 12 Steps' by Nick Tory. It's a favourable review, and if you're reading this, Nick, feel free to thank me later! I purchased the book from Amazon, and downloaded to my Kindle. Being a Luddite, this was a new experience for me. Well, that's enough. Here's my review:
'Johnny 12 Steps' by Nick Tory is a fast paced and witty novella that cleverly draws parallels to the Alcoholic Anonymous 12 Steps recovery program as the reader follows the steps of a homeless ne'er-do-well named Johnny, who finds himself embroiled in a mess with finger-amputating gangsters as he tries to impress Sarah, with whom he has fallen in love (or more likely raging lust).
The author uses very precise language, and creates appropriately cringe-worthy situations in this somewhat tongue-in-cheek story, which this reviewer was delighted to find had more twists than the average bag of pretzels.
Tory's style reminded me of one of my favourite US writers, Carl Hiassen, and I recommend this book to fans of humour, satire, and crime fiction. It is available on Amazon.com.
Four stars out of five from me, and I've attached a link hereunder.
