I read Brian Freeman’s “Immoral” and would say that it was a fairly interesting read. If I had to give favor to one of the two books I have read so far this year, I would have to give favor to “Human Capital” by Stephen Amidon.
From his bio on his website, I found the following quote from Freeman interesting:
“I recall James Michener saying that you should only get published after you’ve written a million words,” Freeman says. “I must be just about there.”
One of the compelling comparisons that come to mind about the two authors was their choice of imagery in their characters’ sexual escapades. Amidon was extremely delicate, forcing the reader to look for clues by sharing quizzical details on the sexual act. Freeman was more direct and descriptive; very racy and erotic. Amidon tended to focus more on the emotional impact of the act and how it was playing out in the characters’ minds.
I read an article in Writer’s Journal about Jerry B. Jenkins and his book “Writing For The Soul”. I learned that he is very much a Christian writer, which is fine, but I must say I am not overly-religious, which I am sure some of my fictional ideas would suggest. I’m thinking about getting it as many of the reviews on Amazon rate it highly as a motivational book.
