Review: Kind of a mish/mash
Rating: 3 out of 5

I received a complimentary copy of Oil and Corruption in exchange for an honest review. I will admit to being a little confused by the author's intent for his book. It started out as a very interesting, thoughtful thriller about a person being caught up in events over which he had no control. But somewhere along the line, it morphed into an almost comedic "thriller". Over the top characters were introduced and the quiet, unassuming lead character suddenly became a thrill-seeker of the first order, not only surviving but thriving in shootouts and explosions. That kind of lost me. I would have liked to see where the story and characters would have gone without the change in direction. Overall, it was just OK for me. I am giving it three stars because I think/hope that others might like it more than I did.
