Forever Is Over by Calvin Wade

1.0

Teenage angst, murder, sibling rivalry, terminal cancer ... the story line had real potential, but the execution was dreadful. There are some glimmers of capturing real emotion, but ultimately, all the characters showed little dimension, and in truth the book read like it was written by an adolescent. Not only does the writing need a lot of work, but it seemed clear that no editing was done at all. In fact, I was rather convinced at first that the proliferation of exclamation points was a literary device to illustrate character, based on the high GoodReads rating. Alas, it was not, nor were the poorly formed sentences or curious phrasing. It was incredibly difficult to get through, and I might have abandoned it entirely had I not been curious about the outcome. Unfortunately, while the characters did experience growth, it seemed to happen overnight, just before the book ended, and I felt terribly cheated out of their journey. It wasn't worth the time I invested.

I received this book from a free offer on Amazon and it was the first book that I read on my new Kindle Fire HD.

This is not the usual type of book I would instantly read however the story line interested me and also the fact that it was based around an area where I was brought up.

Reading the book brought out all kinds of emotions in me from laughing to crying and to thinking about the future and remembering the poast. I would really recommend everyone to read this book, it is a real page turner and I hope that Calvin has more to write about
