John Lynch – Darkness Comes

‘Darkness Comes’ by John Lynch is the most original and ingenius story I have read in a long time.

Ted Bailey is on trial, but not an earthly trial, but a trial that will decide on whether he goes to Hell or Heaven! He isn’t a nice man as we would consider a ‘nice’ man to be, I mean… dealing drugs, selling weapons of destruction and to top it off he is a killer! He fears for his soul and afterlife as all the scenes of his life are played out on a screen to be judged. Characters that were part of his good or bad choices throughout his life come forward to either condemn him or support him in this highly entertaining story.

Ted is a person who has done bad things, but sometimes people make bad decisions and do bad things for the right reasons. Are these right reasons enough to be exempt from hell? Or does the badness overcome the good?

I really, really loved this book, Ted is as vivid in my mind as a real person, I needed no physical description he was large as life as I read the book. John Lynch has definitely created a book that makes you consider the rights and wrongs of everyday life. A book I will not forget easily. With great thanks to Random Things Tours, John Lynch and the publisher for the book in order to give my thoughts on the blog tour today.
