The Man Who Killed His Brother by Stephen R. Donaldson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I don’t read crime-mystery but I read this because of the author. I enjoyed the style and use of language. As an inexperienced reader of this genre, the plot held me to the end and was satisfying. But what really kept me reading was sharing the lead character’s experience of self-loathing, despair, and stubborn determination to do what was necessary to help those he came to care about, especially those who suffered innocently. (Not that I am into self-loathing and despair!) I want to discover more about what drives this new anti-hero. I want to unearth what draws Brew Axbrewder toward a honorable life. Now to dig up the next title in the series!
