Sprainter by JT Therrien
My rating on a 100 point
scale: 93
My thoughts:
I really liked this novel. It held my attention from
beginning until end and ended up being a real quick read, ending too soon.
There are a few things that could have been fixed, but from here on out, if a novel
has less than ten total technical errors, I choose not to mention them in my
reviews, as is the case in this novel. There simply isn’t enough to complain
about. And the complexity of this novel and the enjoyment I got reading it
totally makes up for whatever I could find to complain about it. I highly
recommend for anyone and everyone who likes a good read.
My synopsis:
A spray painter named MrE spreads God’s Word and
revolutionary propaganda through illegal vandalism in a city purposely isolated
by its government from the rest of the world. One routine night, a girl named OZone
appears out of nowhere to admire his artwork, alarming the cops to his presence
with her voice. She helps him escape being arrested and he takes her back to
his hangout, a church where anyone can stay as long as they remain chaste,
attend Mass, and bring food back with them whenever they’re out. MrE can’t help but
wonder where OZone came from and who she is, and she seems to be incapable of
telling the truth, but he has no choice but to trust her and let her stay.
My interview with JT
Therrien, author of The Well and Sprainter:
What do you like to do when you’re not writing? Are
there any people who are extra special to you as a writer or as a person that
you would like to tell us a little bit about?
Um… I don’t
understand the question. What do I do when I'm not writing? Lol… Well, I love to bike! In Southern Ontario, we
have a great system of recreational trails, so I'm on there whenever it's not
raining… or snowing. I'm married to a perfect woman who also happens to be a
librarian, so we have a common love of books that keeps us together. Oh, and we
also have a son.
