[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Twist of the Wrist" by David P Andersen.]
Twist of the Wrist: A Young Man’s Travels In the 1960s by David P Andersen is a book that is filled with adventure. Edgar Lundgren's tale is a fascinating one that definitely sparks adventure in the minds of the readers. The book starts off in Troy, Montana, where Edgar is fired. He then proceeds to go to Des Moines to see his grandmother. After talking about everything and having a conversation with her, he sets off on the road again. He finds himself in Fond du Lac. Edgar mentions to his grandmother that he plans to settle down if the opportunity arises. Is this what it is looking for? Grab a copy to find out how this enthralling read plays out.
What I liked the most about this book were all the aspects of traveling. I love traveling, and I could relate to the thrill Edgar always felt. It was interesting to read how uneasy he would always be and how his hands would twitch once he became fed up with a town. I like how the author writes his character. He was not afraid to be vulnerable.
The beginning of the book is the aspect of the book that I did not like. Edgar was just aimlessly wandering about, and I failed to see how this helped push the plot of the story forward. The book began to pick up the pace midway. By then, I am sure many readers would have dropped the book. For this reason, I rate this book four out of five stars. I found no grammatical errors, and this speaks to the insane editing work done on this book.
I recommend this book to all lovers of travel. They would enjoy this book because they will travel due to the author's words. This book is such an adventurous book that challenges readers to leave their comfort zones and seek a better life.
