The Descent Of Man --by-- Kevin Desinger
This is the story about how a random event can set off a chain of events that will change a person's life. It is also one of the most powerful books I have ever read. The Descent Of Man isn't a mystery/crime novel so there are some holes in the story. It is a study of the human mind or human condition. Very well written. I liked the format too. The story went reverse and forward. Each chapter centered on the event and the events after and leading up to it. I also liked that each chapter had a satisfying conclusion. Too many books nowadays have short chapters with teasers at the end that seem to be effective in leaving the reader wanting to find out the answer to that teaser. The Descent Of Man was for me a satisfying read , page to page , chapter to chapter , beginning to end. And speaking of the ending of the book, it is dead on perfect!!!
