‘A Crafty and Devious God’ is my first book. I don’t take it seriously, I put it online basically because I can’t disown my own work. But it got a very nice review today, which reminds me not to have such firm ideas about what might be useful to other people.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>5.0 out of 5 stars\u00a0Both Crafty and Devious<\/strong>,\u00a0January 9, 2012<\/div>\n

I won a copy of Mr. Krever’s Mindbenders some months back, and enjoyed it so much I had to take a look at the rest of his catalogue. This one jumped out at me for the title alone (I have a habit of skimming blurbs to the point I’m often surprised at what the plot actually turns out to be). A few pages in, I knew this book would cement Mr. Krever’s place on my (in this case, virtual) bookshelf.<\/div>\n

\nHis writing is very natural, loose and easy, yet deep and thoughtful. I can tell he’s a man who has experienced life and not just lived it. The evidence is there in his prose.<\/p>\n

I should caution the most prudish of people there is a fair amount of sexual material in the book, but it’s nothing explicit. Considering the backdrop of the story, it could have easily become that. Instead, Mr. Krever serves up an engaging character study. It’s a tale of a man who’s lost, looking for his way, and a girl who knows she is destined for great things and is determined to achieve it at all costs.<\/p>\n

It’s a great read–enough to tear me away from my own edits for a time–and I look forward to Mr. Krever’s next book.<\/p>\n
