Review: Pure Enjoyment - Settle in for a Wild Ride!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I've read one other book by Mr. Forbucks, THE WALKING MAN, and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I had no hesitation in picking this one up. It more than satisfies! Mr. Forbucks describes this book as 'genre-bending', and indeed it is, in the most amusing of ways. Mystery, romance, revenge driven thriller, science fiction, family drama, a smidge of religion - EVEN STEVEN covers them all in a captivating way. The writing is fast-paced and wickedly funny, and the plot twists caught me by surprise and left me snorting with laughter! (Not convenient at all when reading in bed next to a sleeping husband...)There's quite a clever mind behind this book, and reading about the qPhone technology that drives much of the action makes me wonder what Mr. Forbucks does in his spare time - tinker with quantum physics, perhaps? He's certainly a keen observer of human behavior, and manages to capture us in all our hilarity. A solid five stars - highly recommended.
