A 4-star rating for "Drum Kits and Stage Devices" by Gemma Applewhite.  There is so much to like about this book and it is a good story.  Those who feel pleasure in finding editing errors will not be disappointed.  As this is the first self-published book for Gemma on Amazon, this may be a good beginning and I read it with that perspective.I recommend this novel to those readers who are not faint of heart.  There are ups and downs and a lot of surprises for the reader as suddenly everything is going in a whole new direction.  This book will be most enjoyed by thosewho enjoy reading new author publications.  Like other new authors, there is room for improvement and good editing. I applaud any author's willingness to put her/his self out there. At 60, I as yet have not written my first novel.Personally, I found the storyline complex and overdone.  Consequently, it reached a point where it felt contrived and lost credibility.  If you are like me, I enjoy reading new authors, self-published books.As I said above, it is a great first effort and I encourage others to read it and make your own decisions.  What do you think about the story?
