Then, the White Noise

1. Faced with the impossible, all writers have is metaphor and tenacity. Revisiting these places on the page, Bloodstains on a white station floor. Certain stories are impossible to write. They’re too big. Words falter. The story demands to be told because there’s no other way you can live through this if you don’t get the words down on the page, or the screen. You sit down to write. The first…

You know you got a willing slave And you just love to play the thought That you might misbehave But till you do, I'm telling you Stop visiting my grave And let me rest in peace I know I should go But I follow you like a man possessed There's a traitor here beneath my breast And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed If my heart could beat it would break my chest But I can see you're unimpressed, so leave me be

The Concrete Sky: Book Thoughts

Hello faithful followers and random readers. It is time, once again, for Bluefanguy's Book Thoughts. I'll be discussing The Concrete Sky by Marshall Moore. A novel of suspense, dysfunctional character pasts, and a romance which begins in an unlikely place.

Chad Sobran is at a party enjoying himself when his intrusive older brother crashes and indirectly leads to him falling from a balcony. He wakes up in a hospital and finds his brother has been working to declare him incompetent . The bright side of all this is meeting fellow patient Jonathan. Chad starts getting worried though when he hears of Jonathan's supposed involvement regarding other patient deaths not to mention the lingering suspicion from his parents' deaths. Chad wants nothing more to believe in Jonathan while dealing with his own health, money, and family problems.

This book drew me in pretty quickly. I enjoyed the detail Moore uses when discussing Chad and Jonathan's respective personal histories. Characters become stories all their own and I rarely felt anyone was "just there." The writing is concise and even when I put the book down it wasn't long before I picked it back up to see what Chad would do next. Chad is certainly a man who feels the weight of the world on his shoulders when all he's trying to do is make it through one day at a time without creditors or his brother's family interrupting the time he wants to spend with Jonathan.

If you enjoy novels with a little mystery, good characters with dysfunctional  and descriptive pasts, and gay elements, then this book will not disappoint.

Thanks for reading and stay amazing, all. Until next time!

Bluefanguy, out.
