My
Thoughts
So this is the second book by Glenn that I have read,
overall it was an intriguing story to read about Glenn’s experience in prison.
However I did find a lot of issues with this book. The book was very short and
had a lot of grammatical errors. I found it very hard to follow and there were
a lot of run on sentences.
I found that very disappointing because I really like
the first book I read by Glenn and I was really looking forward to this one but
I am afraid to say it fell short for me. I really like the story that he has to
tell and I believe it should be told. He has been through one hell of an experience
and I think it should be told to the world. I just think he should maybe get a
few beta readers to take a look at his books before he publishes them, that way
they can catch these errors and it won’t be a problem.
I really hope he continues to write and share his
story, you get better with practice and I certainly wouldn’t give up. Glenn has
the talent for it and he has a great story to tell he just needs to polish the
work.
