Review: Joseph Flynn NAILED it
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 12 3, 2013
Nailed is the first and only book by Joseph Flynn that I have read.  I really liked the characters and felt he did a great job in creating them and making them realistic, though I didn't like the inappropriate language that was used frequently throughout and don't believe such language needs to be in a book to make the characters real.  I was thankful, however, that the language was not so bad that I could not simply skip over it as it was simply peppered throughout the story, and not part of every page or paragraph.I really liked the fact that Nailed has two simultaneous plot lines that are both interesting and he connects them very well.  I never got lost following both plots.  His main character, Ron Ketchum, is a very likeable and admirable character.  I really liked the background that Mr. Flynn created for him and how he brought that out in the story and showed how relevant it was, not only to the story, but to the character himself.The best part of the story, in my opinion, is the fact that there is redemption.  Too many stories don't have this quality, which is so important to life.  Both plots also had good, clear resolution at the end, so everything was tied up and finished.I liked this story enough to try another one of Mr. Flynn's works sometime.  However, I was a bit disappointed that Mr. Flynn includes his web address at the end of the book and his website allows you to contact him, and I sent him a message with a couple of questions, and he never responded.
