5,0 su 5 stelle An Existentialist Thriller
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 13 novembre 2014

I purchased this book recently in search of an interesting paranormal thriller. The summary about the book seemed fascinating enough, but the book itself turned out to be something far better than I had first expected. The start of the book features an intriguing double narration, but then falls into a much slower pace as the plot starts evolving. The protagonist starts off as a high school student, who is deeply haunted by an event that occurred in his childhood, producing nightmares and hallucinations, which make you think the storyline will head towards some sort of depiction of schizophrenia or perhaps a school shooting, while also starting to remind the atmosphere of the series Twilight Zone. This, however, like all my first guesses during reading the book, end up being false. The book instead goes into a sort of depiction of human fallacy. While describing the fall of Lucifer, the author goes into an existentialist plane in depicting the breakup of the protagonist's life through his loss of love. By far not the highly terminological existentialism of Sartre, but a crushing reality of human fallacy in the light of the fallacy of Lucifer. The storyline though continues to intrigue, as it has major unforeseen sudden shifts all throughout the book, which of course are an essential part of any great thriller. The life of the protagonist falls gradually apart, while he is succumbed to either possession by a demon or a form of schizophrenia. The book seems to end up depicting a possession by a demon from the perspective of both the person who is possessed, as well as from the perspective of the demon. Which to me was quite remarkable, as most books or films that depict possession, do not tend to look specifically at the demons perspective nor take the perspective of a person, who is gradually through his life succumbed to an evolving possession. Or is he? The book produces many questions, but leaves answers in the air. Gerald Barnes has ended up producing a thriller, which while being unique from its perspective, is also skillfully unfolded in a interesting cyclical narration and carries along an existential heaviness. A highly recommended work.

In this tense but dreamlike novel by Gerald Barnes, we follow the downward spiral of one seemingly insignificant orphan as he becomes The Darkest Tool. Watched over from birth by some rather sexy-sounding demons, the unwitting Jonathan is destined to bring about the age of Satan on Earth.

If that sounds like a cinematic premise then you’ll enjoy the fast-paced, character-driven action of this book. Barnes has a strong ear for dialogue and his work is richly populated with a diverse supporting cast. Spanning a decade and in desperate need for closure, Jonathan lives a dream-like life of feckless apathy, uncertain where to dedicate himself and how best to soothe his deep and abiding traumas. Suffused with his wistful need to belong, I followed Jonathan’s decadent falls and halting recoveries with trepidation.

Barnes wrestles with some pretty heavy stuff, from fallen angels to drug addiction to underground prize fights: everything is about compromise and deeply entrenched in metaphor. He has taken mankind’s most enduring struggles and dilemmas and packaged this sprawling vision into a neat little thriller made of whip-smart dialogue and pensive set pieces.

This is a book you could take lightly, and rip through enjoying the dynamic pace and lively characters, or you could take your time and unravel the many intricate themes and devices within. Either way, you’ll enjoy yourself.

For a quality Sunday afternoon read, I thoroughly recommend The Darkest Tool. I’ll be looking out for more from this author!

This is a good book if you are wanting to ‘cleanse your palate’ in between genres. It is a slow read but I enjoyed reading something different.

Plot/Story:
This story starts out like a YA novel. I half expected it to continue that way, but I caution the reader, this is not YA. The story starts out with Jonathan, a young man who has finally found a home. His mother died giving birth and he didn’t know his father. He has been in the system for 12 years before the Braces took him in. Life takes him on a journey of poor decisions and a love that destroys him once it ends. You follow Jonathan through his life.

Then the tables turn and you are following the demon that is Jonathans guardian, Arioch. Arioch tells the story of Lucifer’s fall from heaven and the angels that followed him to earth.

This is probably the first book I have read with this kind of story. It reminded me a lot of a Stephen King novel, minus all the ramblings that Stephen King is known for. It was straight to the point and I was hooked from the beginning. Probably because it starts with a love story and when there is romance, I am all over it.

Characters:
The two main characters go through a lot of growing through this book. The problem with most books is that the characters go from A to B with no middle ground, no explination as to how they got to point B. This book does an amazing job showing the transition from the person Jonathan was, to the person he became. While Arioch’s development wasn’t as focused on, his end is understood and you can see the progress of who he was to who he became.

Romance/Kills:
This book was full of romance! The most glaring one was between Jonathan and his high school sweet heart Alyssa. It is a lovely story, until it’s not. It becomes the love story that brings Jonathan down, making his life take a new direction.
As for kills, you will just have to read the story, but believe me there is plenty of blood.

Writing:
I had no issues reading this book. I did try to pay attention to grammar and spelling while reading this book. There was only one issue that I saw and it was simply where one word was repeated. Other than that, the writing was well edited and didn’t distract from the story. I was able to lose myself in the story.

Beginning:
The beginning was perfect. You meet Jonathan and almost instantly there is a love story brewing. Not to mention the horrible background of Jonathans past and the horrible things he had seen.

Ending:
The ending was so perfect! It was a happy ending, which this story needed. There was so much going on in the novel and so many horrible things happening, the only ending to have was a happy ending. This could be a stand-alone novel as easily as it could be the first of a series. I did see on Goodreads that this will be a series but the series has been set aside for another novel.

Cover Art:
Had this been a YA novel, the cover would be ideal. But after reading the novel I don’t think the cover does it justice. The cover is dark, so is the story, but the cover gives the impression of a fluffy darkness. You know, the darkness that isn’t all that dark, but just dark enough to give YA readers a little rush. The darkness within the pages is the kind of stuff that may keep you awake at night. The cover needs to be re-imagined.

Blurb:
I think the blurb is perfect. It gives just enough detail to get your attention, but not so much that you know what is going to happen.

Other Stuff

Opening Line: Prologue: He was running scared. Chapter 1: I opened my eyes to the impending darkness.

Highlights: The progression of the story was perfect in keeping my attention.
Lowlights: I can’t really think of anything.

Final Thoughts: I feel like if you like Stephen King you may like this novel as well. I know I loved it.
