 I hate it when I'm stupid. Hello everybody, it here. Welcome back to another book review today. We are talking about David Saloi's Turbulence I listened to this one on scribe This is second one that I have finished Well, actually I've finished a lot, but this is second one. I finished recently I've gone to audiobooks because I just can't focus on reading right now I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way Some of you anyways feel the same way. I know a lot of you on Twitter expressed Your condolences for me not being able to read but I am getting reading done. It's just going really slowly this book was only about Three four hours long something like that. It was very short In fact, I'm gonna link to a positive review of this book down there in the doodly-doo from the artisan Geek I'm gonna start doing this anytime. I feel like I don't like a book or Maybe I feel like I missed the point of a book or You know anytime I can find someone who disagrees with me In a review that I actually enjoy so definitely go check out the artisan geek down there the artisan geek I went looking for reviews afterwards and hers was the very first one that I saw and it's a great review now on to my Review I didn't care too much for this book at all Some of the things that the artist and geek brought up in her review are fine. They're great usually I like those things especially the Fetishization of certain races that she speaks about I'll let you guys check. I really want you to check out her videos I'm not going to go into too deep into that but the whole problem with this collection of short stories First off, I didn't read the description so I didn't realize that it was a book of short stories It felt like a mosaic novel Because certain names that were used early in earlier stories pop up in later stories So it seems like they're all interconnected, but I didn't get much connection I didn't connect to anybody in the book whatsoever, I don't know if it's because Every single story has a different culture and different race of different, you know, whatever it might be But I didn't really connect to any of those people Whereas say in Night Theater by Vikram Padukar, I Connected with those people So I don't think it has as much to do about a different culture or different race or anything like that I just I don't know I didn't feel anything for these characters and they had some very turbulent They led very turbulent lives, but I don't I don't think that for me I don't think I was given enough time or space with the characters speaking of space one of the problems I had is there are descriptions of scenery and places in this book but Everything kind of existed, you know what I'm gonna. I'm gonna give you something That an old editor of mine told me way back when I first started writing it said you're your Spaces your places that you take people are rather gray, you know, they don't have much Description to them and that's one of the things that I had to work on in this one I this is the first time I've ever read a book Where I understand completely what that editor was talking about and the reason for that is it's pretty much Just gray spaces in this book. So you're on a plane or you're in a house or you're outside and the There there's one description in particular that seemed rather lazy to me It's like there was a small house a medium house and a large house and this person lived in the medium house That's all I got. I don't know if it's a bungalow. I don't know what kind of house I don't know anything you can't see it. There's no description of it There's flowers at the lock at the yard if the yard is kept or uncapped Any of those things that was one of the biggest problems I had with this Other than the fact I mean it's pretty tied for I didn't connect with any of the characters Not that the character I didn't like the characters. It's just I didn't connect with them I didn't understand their their plights. I think the closest one I got to is the very first story about the lady whose husband has cancer That was a that was a very nice one and then it all just went downhill After that, I don't I don't know why I can't put my finger on it, but only thing I can do is tell you that This one didn't work for me I don't want to go into too many details about the book but it is a series of vignettes from these different people and If you like slice of life stories, these are fine I'm not a huge fan of slice of life stories like what someone ate for dinner or you know what they did throughout their day That's another reason why I didn't find them all that compelling There was a lot of stuff going there. There is some Drama to the stories, but once again, I just didn't connect. So sorry for the short review Please go check out the artists and geeks channel Especially her review for more in-depth and more positive experience, but this one just it certainly did not work for me But have you read turbulence by David Saloi? I would love to hear from you down there in the doobly-doo if you liked it Tell me why you liked it if you disliked it. Tell me why you disliked it But until next time I have any you've been you this has been another book review. I'll talk to you guys later Bye-bye
