Fresh storyline in a good read!
SWELL by J G Johnson. Fresh storyline in a good read for a wide audience.
If you enjoy fast paced quippy dialogue, quirky yet complex characters, and fresh story lines, you will enjoy this book!
Involved plot lines, adventure, and Japanese mythology in a modern setting.
I read it through a few times - once just to enjoy, and another to make sure it was appropriate to recommend to a wide audience, and found myself smiling both times.
Treat yourself - and a friend. There will be plenty to talk about!
Interesting mix of myth and reality
It’s a different kind of read. A lot more dialogue than explanation. It reads a lot like a movie and it is easy to let your imagination show you the world that the author has made. It was a fun read.
