Review: Discombobulated, dark, and disturbing on several levels

ALEX (a Psychological Mystery Thriller) is not a suspense or mystery as I know them. Sidney Knight made a valiant attempt, but unfortunately did not rise to the task of turning this purely psychological rambling into anything resembling suspense. And I'm not a prude by any means, but when profanity is ever-constant it does nothing to improve a story line.Characters talking to themselves and inanimate objects does not a novel make, nor does repetitive insertion of trivial facts that do nothing to move the story forward.I wanted to give Alex 3 stars since completing a novel is a task within itself, but a project that should be afforded the luxury of an editor. Friends and family will rate your writing as brilliant. Readers and reviewers will be brutally honest, and if an author takes notes of positive criticism, their writing can improve. I do not intend this as harsh, but I do hope author Knight submits Alex to a credible review source for constructive feedback. Perhaps readers should never waste their reading time even on Free e-books, unless those books have at least one (1) EDITORIAL review.
