As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m trying to mend my habits when it
comes to writing reviews and that I would start with Sean Flynn’s Beer Goggles.
I finally managed to write and submit the review and I thought I would share it
in my blog as well. I also thought I would add a separate page where I would
collect all my reviews, providing that I manage to write more than just this
one. I will use Amazon’s starring system of one to five starts, but I can tell
you already that I will only review books that get three stars or more, at
least if they are written by fellow indie authors. Anyway, here is my first
ever review:
Beer
Goggles by Sean Flynn, 4/5 stars
A truly
delightful read
The book
starts out as a comedy fest of one-liners and funny episodes that will make
readers laugh out loud. But Travis’s and Dave’s drunken romp takes a serious
turn when they think they have witnessed a murder and try to bring the murderer
to justice. The book remains funny, but the tone changes slightly, raising it
above a mere comedy number to a genuinely interesting story. The structure of
the narrative, which alternates between two points of view, before and after
the alleged crime, ensures that readers constantly know more than the main
characters do – or they think they know; beer goggles may affect their
perception of the events too.
Travis and
Dave are likeable fellows and the reader genuinely wants to know what happens
to them, the narrative flows effortlessly and the mystery remains unsolved
until the very end. All in all, a very enjoyable read that is suitable for
everyone.

What do you think? If you are
interested in the book, you can purchase it on amazon.com or .uk, and all the
other amazon sites as well.
