Korean Road by Brian Scutt

POISON IVY'S REVIEW
I was very excited to get my hands on Korean Road by Brian Scutt because I've heard so many outstanding things about this story. I also have the privilege of being friends with the Brian and he's a great person. When I received my paperback copy in the mail, I wasted no time in opening the envelope and diving into it.
Let me just say that this story is PHENOMENAL. Wow! The instant hold this story has on the reader is like no other. You really don't want to put it down. The introduction of Dick, the main character, was not so gentle but than again it was.
The story takes you into the horrific journey of a Koren war marine veteran, who has a difficult time leaving the past behind. It's filled with his emotional past, haunting ghosts, the mental and physical torture of that past but it's brought into his present life.
The outstanding narration between the past and present was just flawless. You never got lost from one transition into the next. It all made sense as you read along. The pain of a broken family, the agony and burdens upon one man and his loved ones, was heartwrenching.
Brian's storytelling is so natural and flows easily on the pages of the book. He helped you understand through a flashback why the present was the way it was. It was an emotional rollercoaster that you don't want to get off of until the end. You couldn't predict what was coming next but when it came around, boy did it pack a punch.
I absolutely enjoyed reading this novella.
I, Poison Ivy, give this book 5 stars with a high recommendation.
If you're looking for something new to read, this is the book for you.
