The Book with no Name by Anonymous – A review.
I was lent The Book with no Name during the summer by Robvin (that’s Robyn & Calvin or should that be Calbyn? well the latter just sounds horrendous and we know who “wears the trousers in that relationship”, yeah that’s right both of them). Note to self, you did not cover that up well enough.
Published by an anonymous author under the pseudonym of The Bourbon Kid, The Book with no Name is in a completely different class. It has no genre, you get everything from horror, fantasy, murder, mystery and thriller.
As I said I was given the book last summer but ended up finishing it over two days, it is one of the best page turners I have read, the author has managed masterfully to keep the reader guessing to the very end.
My one major criticism is that the book reads too much like a bad movie plot. I don’t really watch a lot of movies but I could definitely pick out the movie feel to it and the various movie references. Many have speculated that the book with no name was written with the specific intention of being a movie plot. My friend Calvin believes the author is none other than Quentin Tarantino on accounts of the book’s bloodiness.
The Book with no Name is probably the best book I have read this year, definitely recommended. In fact I have already bought myself a copy and also it’s sequel – The Eye of the Moon, which I admit I have already finished, they are that good. As Robyn puts it “its not the best piece of literature, but you cannot put it down”.
