![]() ![]() My haste in moving onto the next book was less to do with exceptional writing (a far cry from it) and more to do with the fact that the final chapters of the book provide absolutely no closure on any of the characters, nor any of the story threads, leaving the reader with a cliff hanger that would do the most salacious soap opera proud. ![]() As the first of three books that make up JV Jones’ Book of Words series, there’s much more to come- I wasted no time of getting started with volume II, A Man Betrayed, whilst eating my breakfast. So please bear with me, and hopefully I’ll get better at this…Īt about 2am this morning I finally laid The Baker’s Boy to rest. I must preface the account of the book’s plot and characters given below with a quick apology, I had no idea how difficult it would be to describe what’s going on in T he Baker’s Boy! The story is written in no fewer than 16 voices (though 6 dominate), and rather than an installment in a series the books, it’s more like the first chapter of a bigger book. ![]()
