5. Title:  Effed Up!Author:  Russ WoodyReviewer:  George ShadowSummary:Robert is a good guy, who has a family that takes advantage of him. With the death of his father, he finds himself being pushed to the wall by this same family of his. Nothing can change his situation, except for the introduction of another like him, with a clear head, perhaps.Social/Historical Context:The story cuts right into reality and comic relief with an edge sharper than any known knife. Events described in this narration are sometimes sad and sometimes very annoying, although most are also laughable. Our hero has a way with words, and you must believe me when I say you won’t stop laughing. This story tells us that all is well that ends well.Writing Style:Written in the first person (present continuous) sarcasm and funny remarks dot the pages of this book. The author knows how to wring out our tears and laughter from emotional scenarios. With excellent editing, the reader can only sit back and enjoy this story. Robert finds himself in the middle of a catastrophe when his father dies and he realizes that his family is an unusual lot. The stage is set for an upheaval like no other.My Thoughts:Russ Woody’s book is definitely Hollywood-bound.George Shadow is the author of THE BLACK BOOK.
