Hey Everyone!! :-)
It's the 18th again, so time for my #IndieBooksBeSeen monthly indie author book review!! Enjoy! :-)
Checkered Scissors by Douglas Schwartz:
Do you enjoy fantasizing about changing the world? Do you ever wish you could spend more time in a world of your imagination than in the real world? Ed Black gets the chance to do just that when he makes a cut in the fabric of reality and finds out what's on the other side. The only question is, how does he get home again? You'll have to read to find out!
I love reading, and so I read a lot of books. But rarely do I find a book that's so original in concept that I can honestly say I've never read anything quite like it before. Checkered Scissors is one such book. There are some similarities between it and Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker series, in that it makes you take a new look at the ordinary and makes it impossible to apply the assumptions we all take for granted about the world around us. The reader is always on their toes because it's impossible to anticipate what the next twist or turn the story will take will be. And it also contains a lot of the same style of oddball humor that Adams used. And it also has some of the dream-like, "is this real or in my head?" aspects that the Lewis Carroll's Alice books have. But it's still very much its own idea. Frankly, without giving away the whole story, I can't say much more about it. Just read it and find out for yourself. You won't be sorry.
