Diary of a Would-Be-Protagonist has got a fabulous new review on Amazon! :-) By Peter Kendall - Published on Amazon Format:Kindle Edition What a novel and fiendishly interesting theme. Even the philosopher Descartes finds an entry; most suitably because he believed the soul was like the ghost in the machine, rather like Marit Merediths main character who will not, so to speak, lie down, but is instead so delightfully cheeky to its creator and I had to chuckle when she got testy over shelving her story. When the character speaks of having a bit more substance attached to me this does again seem to me to anticipate Descartes idea of the ghost in the machine and, indeed, he called the soul a spiritual substance. It would not matter a jot whether the author had been partly triggered by such a link for her application is still entirely novel and, from the characters perspective, wholly illuminating as an insight into the literary psyche of the writer. The style, the sentence construction is devoid of pretension and its deceptive simplicity allows great fluidity and an eminently easy read when set against the complicated thought that must have gone into building Merediths little fiend while keeping her consistent. To begin with, I found the characters observations of her creator endearing, sometimes rising to hilarious! However, these observations shouldnt be taken too lightly; for it soon becomes evident that the author is expressing a genuine empathy/sympathy not only for her delightful little fiend but also for the writer, Anna, who struggles to make her complete and perfect., Thank you, 5 star reviewer!
