10/17/2019 0 Comments Unscripted by Davis Bunn Book ReviewIt is rare to find a book that I can recommend to my son to read. Or maybe I just don't know where to look. But the books that come across my radar are usually historical Christian romance or maybe romance mysteries. Most of them are written from the female character's point of view and are heavy on what I can only describe as "girlish." Nothing wrong with that. I am a girl after all. I like reading girly books. But my twenty year old son that loves to read, well, he doesn't like those things too much. And I want to share books and the love of reading with him. So, when I do find a book that I can share with him I am thrilled.
Unscripted is one of those books. Although written in third person, Unscripted still feels like it is more from Danny's point of view than anyone else. Thus, it has more of a manly voice. Maybe because the author is a man. Don't know. Doesn't matter. It just gives me something to share with my son. The story's setting revolves around the Hollywood film industry, which I found fascinating because my other son enjoys the art of storytelling through all forms, including film. I kept picturing the main character, Danny, looking like this son of mine as I was reading. It helped me to really care for Danny and sympathize with him. As a mom, I just wanted to go beat up some one and make him pay for hurting Danny and causing him undue pain. Maybe Danny's storyline was hitting too close to home. I will have to say that I was somewhat confused by the love story that was going on and exactly why I was suppose to be rooting for it. It seemed so very rushed to me. I know that the timeline of the story was longer than it actually felt reading it and that may have been why it felt so wonky, but I just kept thinking, "Man, talk about love at first sight. There doesn't seem to be any meat to this romance." Maybe I am just being too hard on it. Overall, the book was good, clean, and enjoyable. This was my first time to read something by Davis Bunn and I would not be opposed to reading more of his work in the future. And like I mentioned, it is nice to have a book to pass on to my son that we can then talk about afterwards. Love, The Mother
