The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley by Hannah Tinti
"Hawley grabbed the Colt now and tucked it under his belt, then strung the rifles across his shoulder. He said, "Come on, troublemaker. which was his daughter Loo."
I had deliberately started my review of this book with this excerpt because both characters were the main plot of the book. I however, had some questions as to why the writer dwells so much on guns and type of guns. I don't know why the writer thought that educating readers on guns was important to the story line.
As the chapter named Hawley began. I realise it was to get the readers familiar with how he looked and what he stands for. I was kinda bored as this was the usual road writers used. The only line that intrigued me was when Loo touch the gun handle that he placed in the house.
The writer made it seem somewhat interesting in the story plot. But all the writer did was to dwell on Loo getting use to the rifle in her hands. It was too much to bear in mind with Loo plus his wife seem to be apart of his daily life. I believe the writer made the climax of the story very slow so it had me bored most of the time.
I recommended this book to any reader that has the patience to read up a story with slow climax in plot. Bear in mind it does have a good plot but too much time is spent on endless reasoning of little importance. The writer must take this into account what readers crave for.
