The Seduction of Monet Dawson is a true account of author E. Clay's life as a soldier and hypnotist and his love for married military wife Monet Dawson. Already the accomplished author of Mogadishu Diaries 1992-1992: Bloodlines, Mr. Clay is very open about his life as a young military man who is trying to make ends meet and then finds success as a very talented hypnotist. Never a big believer in hypnotism, I found it very interesting to read the accounts of his experiences. The book opens with a 911 call and then takes the reader back to see how that event transpired. The event itself is gruesome to say the least but it's also how Monet came into his life. Although the love story with Monet seems to be what the author sees as being the main story of the book, I found it just to be an off-shoot. This book is about E. Clay and his struggles and how things come full circle. Throughout the book there are photos and documents that add to the story. I enjoyed the book and found the story interesting. It didn't grip me but the writing is quite good. I'd like to read more about his experiences with hypnotism and maybe that will become a future book.
