I would like to thank the author G. Hingorani for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Wow…just wow…I am totally at a loss of words for this book…So,
when I received a copy of the book “The Comic” by G. Hingorani, I was
not expecting this book to suddenly have a massive shift in tone halfway
through.
The book is about a famous comedian named Calvin “The
Comic” Everswood and even though he puts on a funny façade whenever he is doing
his stand-up gigs, he is secretly suffering in his life as he suffers from drug
addiction and ended up pushing away all of his former friends. Now, not only is Calvin dealing with his stand-up
comedy shows, but he also tries to recover from his drug addiction, while
trying to rekindle his relationship with his old friends.
Wow…just wow again…. When I started reading this book, I
thought that this was going to be a humorous book about the life of a comedian. Even though this book does have some humorous
moments with Calvin’s stand-up act, the story suddenly becomes a tragedy once
we are introduced to Calvin’s drug addiction and how it is ruining Calvin’s
life. G. Hingorani’s writing in
this book is spectacular as it details the downward spiral of Calvin’s life, as
he gets addicted to drugs and he ends up losing his friends because of it. It really made this story extremely intense
and sad to read through and I was always hoping for Calvin to try to turn his
life around and become a better person. I
also like the fact that this book did a great job at detailing the dangers of
drug addiction and how it can ruin your life.
I also loved the fact that G. Hingorani set up the book as a
stage play as it made the book easier to read and it really made the story
stand out to me.
This book does contain some strong and suggestive language
that might be a bit uncomfortable for some people.
Overall, I really loved reading “The Comic!” It is such a dark and sad book about the
dangers of drug addiction that many people should definitely check out!
