Review of 'A Dying Wish' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is a book to listen to when you just feel sluggish and need your energy back! High intensity, high adrenaline, lots of action of all kinds - and a cast of characters to die for. OK, so they're criminals, the lot of them, including the badass good-guys. And the main character isn't put together to draw too much sympathy, even though there's a thread of integrity running through him that the author just somehow couldn't keep out. Henry Roi is a writer who injects exuberance into every scene and carries the reader along with such wild abandon that you can't help loving the ride, even if you're being taken somewhere that you never expected or planned and wouldn't have said yes to if he'd asked before he swept you up.

I loved this book!
The narration is perfectly judged. Jamal West clearly completely ""got"" the book, and didn't miss a beat at any moment in the reading of it. Sharp, sassy, full of energy. Perfectly captured the spirit of the book, and the Razor's delicious voice.
Life-enhancing badness!
