Devoted
on Oct. 25, 2011
Devoted is a novel that is filled with the thoughts, feelings, and memories of Nick Staylor. And the more we learn about him, the more we understand the world he has constructed to protect himself from the unkind world in which all of us live. Like many people I’ve met, he protects himself from the memories about his youth and the unseemly, but exciting, activities he experienced. He’s done this by isolating himself from everyone else. The problem is that he is surrounded and pursued by “normal” people, people who intend to benefit themselves by being close to him. Unable to completely avoid others, he falls into the trap of caring about a woman. Ending a previous near-involvement, he is trapped into living where he doesn’t want to live, and ends up living next to the one who manages to invade his heart. Trouble is, she is not yet a ‘woman,’ but is almost there. What Nick goes through is primarily the Hell internal to almost everyone. But it is nevertheless compelling. When the ultimate comes to pass, the results are both exciting and painful, bringing unexpected results. Does he survive? Avoid prosecution? How? Read it and find out! Max Gordon
