Opis

Typecast by Booker Woodman is book one in a series, followed at this time by book two Re-cast, and book three Cast-off. Book four is as yet unfinished with a working title of Cast-away. The first book replicates the immediate existence of our main protagonists who, for the first few pages, are very much two dimensional until Typecast by Booker Woodman stamps its influence upon them. The three following books, Re-cast, Cast-off and Cast-away follow them and other characters that get involved as they try to overcome the irrationalities and the body count that Typecast by Booker Woodman itself instigates. At the outset of book one, the reader is unsure who the initial characters are, where they are and what is happening around them. It is not too long before we find out some of the answers. They are soon involved with several deaths, deaths that have been recorded over a period of some thirty years or more, some of them achieved by malicious intent and others by mysterious events, but none of them resulting in convictions. The storyline has developed some charismatic characters, Peece, Fitz Ffastt, Agnes Hale and Harriet Aston, to name but four from a worthy list. But, be warned, it does feature some colourful personalities, so I wouldn't read it to your nippers or send it to your aged great aunt as a gift. The interaction between the protagonists and the humour that they sometimes generate, dry, and at other times farcical, is refreshing in what can only be described as their disturbing and sometimes surreal circumstances. I recommend this series to anybody who enjoys the 'odd' death, if only to gain a little understanding of what to expect if they too become... 'Typecast...'
