Review: LUCKY

This book satisfied me in every way. I couldn't help but smile as I read this book; it was contagious. The author's name, Spare Time Novels, immediately piqued my interest in this book. Regarding how I feel about this book, I have to say that it brightened my day. Although it makes me think of "DC movies", I adore the entire plot. This book's irony was yet another intriguing aspect for me. Some people who have read this book would argue that the main character, Darkwood, was excessively aggressive and illogical, but I beg to differ. Despit…

Review: LUCKY

I loved what he did with the hostages when he went to Mr. Binary's clubhouse, one of the characters, to get his revenge. He let anyone who told him they loved him go. That showed that, beneath all the violence he exhibited, he still had some level of humanity left. And when some others didn't do much to him, he still respected the fact that people are entitled to have choices too. This portrayed him as a gentleman. I appreciated the writing style. It was plain and easy to understand the narrative. Confusing terms were not present in the book. T…

Review: LUCKY

John Woods came across as a funny but naughty character. Although his kind of naughty would be considered twisted by some groups, he was a compelling and intriguing character. One minute, he would be engaged in discussions about culture and literature or serving as a defender of the masses, and the next minute, he would be transformed into a fearful villain. He was an impressionable character. John Woods's character aroused a myriad of emotions. At first, I was persuaded to understand this man's situation because the judge may have overreact…

REVIEW: MON CHERI

I loved the format of this book very much. I loved how carefree Charlie was, how much he cared about Le Femme, and how he wanted her to have more people around her who loved her. Some situations mentioned in the novel were so different, but they only justified their friendship and Charlie’s character more. His character reminds me of a movie character, and it’s quite a famous movie in India. I loved that movie, and so does the novel, though the endings are different for both of them. Mon Cheri is the shortest novel I've ever read, and it…

Review: MON CHERI

Mon Cheri is a novel about a rare friendship and an even rarer love. Spare Time Novels wrote this novella. It documents the crazy antics of two friends whose connection to each other is a thing to be studied. Saying that I liked this book is an understatement of the century. Sometimes, I got scared of how things would end, seeing as they were reckless in their dealings with alcohol and guns. Other times, I caught myself rooting for them to hook up and take things to the next level. Mon Cheri made me laugh and cry simultaneously. It made me wish…

 Verified Good read, better than movies
It's not often that I come across action & adventure novels where I can visualize the scenes played out like a movie in my head. This is exactly what reading "Lucky" by Spare Time Novels was like. It's an interesting story about a convicted arsonist. This is the type of novel that might one day get the attention of a movie producer, and turned into a blockbuster film.The plot is intriguing from the start, and it keeps you guessing as the plot unfolds. The characters are all very interesting as well. It's a novel that you won't want to put down once you start reading!

 Verified Amusing plot development and characters!!
Although I would say it is a good read to pass the time, each chapter seemed too short for plot development, and characters were introduced randomly with no background information. Each major activity in plot development (e.g. breaking out of prison, falling in love) is abrupt and leaves the audience confused with no further explanation.Despite its flaws, it's actually pretty funny to read the randomness of each plot twist, and the dialogues and characters though quite simple are good enough to suit the purpose of a short story.

 Verified 2.5-3/5 stars. Quite an interesting read!
This book is a very interesting read! It has it's ups and downs. At some points, the story progressed very well, at other points the plot kind of jumped around. It also has a dark undertone and gives me a mixture of Deadpool and Batman vibes.Some parts in the book were very entertaining! I enjoyed the main character of the book very much, even if at times I felt he was a bit linear and simple.For a short story, this'll do the trick. Though if the author chose to write further more, I feel that they could write a very interesting novel.
