Review by J. Purcell
“Twisted Lanes shows what life is like for a set of people living in a cold reality that doesn’t get any worse than this. The four stories are a feeling, not just a read, as you can’t get yourself out until you’ve taken in every word and felt all the emotions. You’re part of each story, unfolding with every sentence. The twists and turns are so unexpected, they’ll leave you shocked and ready for more. This story had me hoping and praying for the characters like I was in the plot! I don’t want to give anymore away, just read the book – you won’t be disappointed.”
Further reviews:
“Twisted lane.. Truly twisted indeed!!!
“Actually I was really taken aback by this book. Had read the reviews of this book and thought I had to have a read myself. I know the author having had various discussions with him, but this book is something else.”
“I am not a reader of books but wanted to see what everyone was talking about. Well ……. I started reading and couldn’t stop. It’s so lifelike and written in a way that just has you hooked. There’s no way you can stop mid chapter.”
“Mr. Phipps excellent book, read, and design – look forward to the next instalment.”
“This book would make for an awesome film.”
“This book blew me away. An absolute page turner. The cleverly interconnected plot is full of surprises, each character delivering some hard lessons. This book would make for an awesome film.”
“Simply gripping. Sex, love, drugs, violence, dark laughs – if you want to know what life is like on ‘the edge’ then look no further than this book. It features four gut-wrenching, undiluted, interconnected stories which will quite literally have you hooked from beginning to end. There’s no sentimentality, just the bald, bleak truth and some very hard lessons. If you think the stories are far-fetched, then all I can say is you’re either really lucky or very sheltered! Put aside a weekend to read it. You won’t regret it.”
