Mr. Smoke

I do a lot of reading. I read a large variety of genres. I am not easily entertained. Mr. Smoke, by Robert Preston Walker, was a delightfully new experience for me. When I had finished reading it, not only was I highly entertained and stimulated by the story's many twisting and turning plots, it left me totally satisfied yet still craving more. The characters were as real to me as the people I know. They live and breathe in my mind still. Robert weaves a seamless tale with no loose threads. To me, that is quite an accomplishment. A lot of writers that I have read throw in red herrings, that just muddy the waters, for fill. I found no such fill in Mr. Smoke. At times I was confused, but the confusion was always cleared up later. Mr. Smoke made me stop and think. It made me not want to put it down and do other things, like go to sleep or go to work. I re-read Mr. Smoke a couple of weeks after I had read it the first time, just to see if it still held the same magic for me. It was better, because I read some new things that I had missed in my hurry to get to the next Scene. Mr. Walker doesn't have chapters in Mr. Smoke, he has Scenes. I agree with his unique concept. I found Mr. Smoke to be a highly visual book. My suggestion to you is not to lend out your copy of Mr. Smoke. In all probability you won't get it back. I know. I have ordered a new one. Have your friends purchase it for themselves. Spread the word ... Smoke kills. Ask any Terrorist Bomber. Oh, I guess you can't. They're dead, Smoked by Mr. Smoke.
