4.0

Eric Miles Williamson is a person of opinion. I've never taken a class with him, but others who have described him as such. Once I saw him talk to a friend of mine and he came off as such. But it's all good, because if he wasn't then he wouldn't be the writer that he is.

The book is reminiscent of the crap-stacular novel Twelve only it's written by an adult rather than a child. None of the characters are lovable, nor do you wish them happy endings. You writhe with hatred for Broadstreet, sneer contemptuously at Rex and wish to bury Colby Root underneath gunite - which is what the novel's about: Gunite workers.

I don't know if a review by me will do any justice for the book. I'm also sure that if Williamson should read this he'll discard it because I'm no one of importance. But nonetheless, the book's a great read and you'll be glad you have.
