The Desert Has No King by Frederiko Aguilar
Type: Fiction
My rating: 1 star (out of 5)
Why I chose it: I thought this was going to be a really good book about a kid who grew up gambling, became a bookie, got involved with (on the wrong side of) the Mafia and then escaped to Las Vegas to start a new life.
What I liked about it: Nothing. The spelling and punctuation throughout the book was horrendous. The dialogue between characters was awful. This author is no John O'Hara. There was absolutely no plot worth mentioning. Just when I thought the book might redeem itself at the end and pull some minor story lines together, the author just stopped the story and mentioned a sequel. What a piece of garbage. I cannot believe this author is trying to sell this book for $17. Thankfully I picked my copy up as a free e-book for the Kindle. I guess you get what you pay for. In my case, it was a total waste of time. The author should pay me.
