Smashwords book reviews by PinkishHue MidnightBlue

Spoon-fed Addiction on May 25, 2013

It started a little slow for me but because of its summary, I stayed with it. The synopsis alone made me want to see how the author delved into the mind of a person (fictional or not) who contemplated suicide and what eventually led to the attempt of it. I don’t want to give anything away and spoil it for you but it spoke volumes to me. It made me wonder what Adiran’s childhood was like for him to have such a bad outlook on life, people, and society. I have to admit that I have thought some of his thoughts at times in my life but never have they consumed me as they have consumed him. At some point, we all shared the thoughts and ramblings that this character made known. But this story? This story seemed a bit choppy in some parts but nothing that detracted from the story the author is telling and it picks up its pace soon thereafter. The main character, Adiran, is indeed a tortured soul that does not believe in anything or anyone but himself and that is where his downfall begins. At certain times, I could feel and empathize with how he felt in his emotions and in the end, I felt his relief and I felt sad for him. But if there was one thing I could say about Adiran was that he was true to himself to the very end. Again, I do not want to give more away than the author has already given. I enjoyed the story. It is different which is something that I appreciate the most along with being able to relate to bits of it. I am in no way suicidal but as I said…we all share some of the thoughts that Adiran had. The BEST part in my opinion was not being able to guess how it was going to end until I got to the end. Great story!
