Review of Or So It Seems by Paul Steven Stone
Overthinking
a book review can be hazardous to both the author and the reviewer. You never
quite know where these musings will take you. Here I am, disembodied, settled
in a few inches under the ceiling of this book-strewn room where I am
consulting with Bapu, a fictoplasmic Hindu holy man that I have borrowed from
the pages of Or So It Seems, the very novel that I am reviewing. Both Bapu and I look down upon my squat physical
being, sitting at a large drawless, cherry-stained desk, clad in sweats,
feverish and suffering from a head cold. I seem to have come up with an idea
and am now typing furiously into my cranky HP computer. My newly-found spiritual
companion comments unmercifully on recent changes in my appearance—my baldness,
my thickening no-neck carriage, and my toad-like expressions to be exact. Fair
enough. But I must admit that his damnable high-pitched giggling does,
occasionally, get to me. For more of my review go here: http://dougholder.blogspot.com/2015/03/or-so-it-seems-by-paul-steven-stone.html
