Welcome!

Welcome to my blog! I plan to post my thoughts on books I read here. I usually stick to Sci-Fi/Fantasy books and love them. I read a lot so ...

The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding

I got this book quite a while ago and have slacked off on reading it. The book is The Dreadful Tale of Prosper Redding by Alexandra Bracken. I received this for free by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The book was published September 7th, 2017.

This book follows Prosperity, or Prosper, Redding. He was born a twin to Providence, or Prue, Redding. They were born into a rich family, with everyone usually having one thing they excel at, although anything that isn't directly connected to helping others is not thought of fondly. One example of this would be art, which Prosper is quite fond of, he feels it is one of the only things he is good at. Prosper has a much larger concern though, he has a demon inside him. Which is not a figure of speech. And because of that, his family would love to kill him. The story follows Prosper and his internal battle with a demon.

This book was really good. I did enjoy it and although I haven't read A Series of Unfortunate Events, this book is how I imagine those books might be written (based on the television series). I was written in a witty way and had an undertone of sarcasm at parts. The author created a very interesting world for everything to take place in. I think this would be a pretty good book for most ages, a little more advanced than elementary, but would work well for middle and high school, maybe adult looking for an easier summer read. I would recommend this book to people who like fantasy type books, but I do think it would be an entertaining book most people.
