Millersville edition by Brendan Detzner Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I joined goodreads.com to explore some new authors. I was lucky enough to win this book in a giveaway. This is the first book that I have read, which was written by Mr. Detzner. This author did an amazing job describing women; how they act, talk, etc. in a women's prison. I should know, I was a correctional officer in a women's facility for three years. This was a fantastic story, it was hard to put it down so I could meet my obligations. Although, I have questions. At the beginning, middle, and, the ending, there is something going on with "Queen." Is this a queen or, is Queen just her name? Who is she; how does she relate to the story? Also, who's bones is she digging up? I'm not smart enough to figure out what is going on there. I guess I could use more meat in those sections. Anyway, if you have ever been interested in knowing what goes on in a women's prison, just read this book. Mr. Detzner portrayed it amazingly well.
First a big thank you to author Brendan Detzner, for giving me this opportunity to review Millersville for an honest review. My rating is 4 stars!
Wow! This book sucked me in from the beginning and made me think of the history of Alcatraz Island Prison, Francisco Bay, where they had to close the penitentiary as it cost much more to operate than other prisons in 1963.
What this book is about?
A maximum prison for teenage girls on its way to destruction. The states’ cheques bounce, no money is coming in, food rations gets less for prisoners, the staff get suspicious and resign. Security cameras are broken and that means….nobody is watching… And that means anything can happen.
A great read and I would recommend this for everyone!
Disclaimer I was very fortunate to receive an ARC (advance readers copy) and all that was requested of me was an honest review.
This is the second book (the first being Beasts which I loved) I have read by Brendan Detzner and I must say that there is as much difference in these two books as day and night. This man is versatile beyond anything I could have imagined. So, if you read and didn't care for Beasts you should not make a decision about reading Millersville based on your reaction to Beasts.
First don't be afraid to read this because of spoilers. My reviews are always based on how I like or dislike the book and why not a book report that is just a summary of the book. I don't like to read any details about a book I am going to read so that's how I write them.
Now to my review of Millersville The main characters in Millersville were well rounded and I felt like I was right there with them through much of the book. Three of them I admired very much. Their stresses and fears made my heart pound and their moments of happiness and triumphs sometimes made me cry. This story could be true and someday may be. I hope not but I am a realist so I know that bad things do happen and the series of events in Millersville seem extremely possible and flow in a way that I could see as almost inevitable. On the other hand, a few things occurred that completely and totally shocked me to my core (they could still, very easily, happen). All together a great read and I hope that you will enjoy it as much it as I did.
I received an Advance Reader’s Copy for Brendan Detzner’s novel, Millersville, in return for an honest review. So here it is, with no real spoilers to speak of
I actually ended up liking this much more than expected. The first chapter pulled me in, I was kind of interested in where Queen was going, but then we headed into this situation at a prison for girls that seemed kind of mundane at first. I was like what am I reading here? So I just pressed on to find out when we’d get back to Queen and to try to puzzle out where Queen was related to the prison story. But the last half was good. It’s a slow build to a theme that sticks with you afterwards. Not a book that gets in your face about anything, until it does. Fitting that, after the end of the novel, there’s a link to a site about prisoners’ rights. The novel has a realism traced with subtle discomfort to its pacing and reveals.
It was hard for me to get into the setting at times, mostly in the middle, because of how sparse the writing is, though after reading one of his short story collections Beasts, I did expect a sparse, sort of bare noir style, though I had expected more horror. By the end of Millersville, I feel like the tone and style of the novel fits with the story as a whole. I’d say stick through to the end. It’s not a book full of baggage or long description that will take up your reading time (though I’m also a fan of books like that, I do like some meaty description), and by the end it presents a story with clear relevance to our troubled times. There is horror, but not the grotesque or constant suspense I might’ve have expected based on some of Brendan’s short stories. This is a more subtle, messed-up real life horror.
Oh, and I should point out, in the ARC I received there were a few spelling errors that poked at me here and there. All rather minor, I shrugged them off. Maybe the author fixed those in the current edition, or will do so in the future. Despite that, I still recommend giving this a read. Worth both the price and the troubling unease it will leave you with.
I liked it!
Millersville had a really interesting pace with a slowly blooming disaster( or series of disasters, really) as the backdrop, and the minutiae of prison life keeping an interesting beat to the plot.
