Review: Beautiful and Haunting
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 5, 2014
33 Chapters. Six Hundred Pages. At a glace “The Psalmist” by Jason Akley is a daunting undertaking. However once you crack open the book you will not want to pull yourself out of it. If I had to sum up this novel in a sentence it would be this: Everyone's Human. Ok, that is more of a phrase than a sentence but you get my point. My quickie review of this novel is that its very eye opening. I love the similarities to King David that the author ties to the main character.To put it shortly David Threnody is a Blues man. And being from New Orleans I know all to well what that looks like. I could hear the music of my hometown through the pages as the story progressed. Akley has a fantastic writing style that swims on the pages. Like I said before, it does not feel like a six hundred page novel.Overall “The Psalmist” is a beautiful and well thought out read. I would recommend it to anyone who loves music. 5/5 stars.
