Biography
My life has generally been devoted to the pursuit of technical ambitions, being a graduate of Software Engineering and working for a financial services company as a software developer. However, I have many interests in humanities - history and politics mainly - providing fuel for my creative outlet of writing. I try and integrate equal parts of bleak and almost brutal analysis together with sardonic comedy to produce works that I hope will offer new perspectives and reflect actual social issues in the real world.

Smashwords book reviews by Isuru Abeysinghe
- Gravity, Restraint, and the Reason Icarus Fell
on June 15, 2012
I really wanted to give this story a 3.5 - as a short story it was quite enjoyable. I think deep down everybody wants to abandon their logical beliefs, thats have been proven time and time to be correct, to experience a situation that simply can't be explained - uplifting!
- Shady Hazy and the Subliminal Criminal
on June 16, 2012
It was a good read although I but the ending was not very clear - it took me a while to realize that the number was being implanted into his mind as opposed to that he was reading it... interesting!
- A Girl in the Library
on June 16, 2012
Not bad, it is fairly well written although in a rather simplistic style - but highly appropriate given the POV being channelled. The sex was fairly wholesome, not that's a bad thing in general... (although it may have been interesting if she turned out to be a super-freak) I think I wish this thing happened to me while I was at uni, but I'm no athlete...
- Blue Tent
on July 21, 2012
This is an excellent read. I think the premise is a very cogent one and even a very real risk in the modern world. There is aleady a movement that is originating from America and infecting globally whereby people are being persuaded to believe that (as the coin termed "big government") is not in their interests and that the regulatory capacity of governments should be privatized. It is the ultimate grizzly end to the death of 1-human-1-vote representation towards the unfair and lopsided form of representation that can be bought by money. My word for it is "capitocracy" and your book highlights the truth that this is just another form of feudalism. The book is entertaining and concise but my only criticism is that the action sequences seemed a little bit one-dimensional (ie. the fight sequences.) The ending is brutal and fully demonstrates the destitution of the human spirit where protective self-interest is the primary motivating factor. Carla, I am also a writer of dystopia works and I would love it if you read "War of Civlar" which deals in another great peril facing our world which is the polarization of cultures. Thanks for writing this book!

My first impression was that the writing style was simplistic but then I realized that the perception was that of a child. Nevertheless, with the limited vocabulary of the protagonist you have still managed to create a very realistic and charged atmosphere in this short story and it was compelling right towards the end.

I have not read a lot of erotica but sometimes if they are short I'll have a read if they look kinda normal. It was decent writing but from an erotic perspective I found it weird looking into the mind of a woman refering to myself (as the subject) was doing things to her... haha. I don't know if I speak for everybody but it feels more natural to me from the male perspective (ie. the other way around) but perhaps I am not the target audience (aren't I selfish?)

This is actually very good. I think what it is trying to say is regardless of all injustice in the world, be it the desperate circumstance of poverty or being wrongfully accused of a crime, a person who masters their own mind has the ability to manifest their own destiny - thus - "God is just". I think the idea of "Perfect Visualization" is explored well in this book and I find it interesting to note that you don't explain if the protagonist get's released because the victim survives and testifies for him, which emphasizes the theme in a way but also makes it feel a little bit unfinished from a human perspective.
- This Thing Called Sex
on Aug. 19, 2012
This book lists homosexuality as a sexual deviation and then claims that in a 'healthy' society people with sexual deviations are classified as phychologically sick. You point out that the book is written for Christians, so I will phrase my criticism within those confines. The New Testament does not detail homosexuality as a sin and Jesus himself said that the New Testament "overrides" the old testament. This is why Christians are allowed to eat pork and go uncircumsized.
- Do We Need More Proofs That God Does Not Exist?
on Nov. 08, 2012
I'm an atheist myself, and just a few notes about the book. Firstly, freedom of speech does, and should, include the freedom to lie. The alternative is that somebody needs to define the truth, which is too much power for anybody. As to the subject matter of the book, you attempt to explain that God is impossible due to the laws of thermodyamics. It was quite interesting to read, but I have to say a little cumbersome and perhaps 'unnecassary'. Theists will always argue that God exists beyond the realm of physics, to go to such extents to show the impracticality of 'God' within these bounds is not something most people will find that mind-blowing. In a sense, you can always explain something by adding more into the explanation than is necessary. At the end of the day, something needs to exist - if it just exists by itself as matter/energy or if it needed to be created by a God that first premise remains the same. If nobody can explain why matter/energy can't just exist by itself I'll take the simple explanation...no God. But that like anything is a personal view.
- What's Wrong With Outsourcing?
on Nov. 29, 2012
A good short read. I think the main theme is the question of fitness-for-purpose which is often sidelined when corporate fads are introduced into the culture. It was also a good primer on the basic attitudes of the industry towards this activity. I think the book it pretty short in it's present form, would have been nicer if this was part of a broader fittness-for-purpose discussion concerning the IT industry paradigms.
