Review Request: Jerimiah Jerricho, Book 1, by Azariah Scott.

Sometimes being a clever writer just is not enough. Case in point, Azariah Scott’s Jerimiah Jericho: Allowance.

The story is a complex one that swirls around an implant that imparts divergent personalities, the consequences of using there-of, its effects on a typical teenage boy, and the government who wants this particular piece of technology for themselves.

The characterization of Jerimiah is a strong one. If there is one thing Scott is good with, it is sculpting a believable character. The issue is that the book is written in a stream of consciousness style that has little to no grounding. Stronger settings, better descriptions, and otherwise would have gone a long way to providing breathing points to coalesce around. Unfortunately, I found that reading this book felt like I was being swept up in a flash flood, constantly trying to keep my head above water. In the end, I drowned.

Jerimiah Jericho, Allowance, is not an easy read. But, for those who enjoy this sort of writing style, you can do much worse.
