207th Amazon Review Just In! by John A. A. Logan
Reviews
for The Survival of Thomas Ford have been popping up quite quickly lately on
Amazon.
The
200th one came in on Amazon.com, the U.S. site, around Christmas
Day, and then the 207th review appeared there a few days ago.
On
Amazon.co.uk, the UK site, The Survival of Thomas Ford has 93 reviews now.
That
amounts to nearly 300 reviews total if Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com are combined
(though not quite 300 as there are a few reviews duplicated on both sites).
It
has taken 3 years for the 300 or so reviews to accrue on Amazon for The
Survival of Thomas Ford, so roughly 100 reviews a year, or 1 review every 3 or
4 days, on average.

A
few wee review snippets from Amazon/Goodreads:
“Excellent
read. Not your garden variety thriller, this one has twists and unexpected
turns all the way to its dysfunctional and disturbing end!”
“This story grabbed me from the
beginning and didn’t let go. I continued to think about it even after I had
finished reading it. A real spell binder. A psychological thriller.
Does evilness get passed down from
parent to child? It definitely does when it comes to Jimmy and his father.
Well written with good character
development.”
“I enjoyed the story. It had me on the
edge of my seat throughout the book! I would read this authors books. It was
interesting.”
“A very wild ride this book. I think a
very emotional too. You just keep reading all night long. Good one.”
“I’ve recommended this book to my son
and my daughter-in-law who reads a lot. I found this book to be a spell binder.”
“A motor car accident leaves one dead
and one survivor. Thomas Ford doesn’t remember how he survived the crash that
killed his wife, only the bird like face of the other driver he swerved to
avoid. The twists and turns the story takes encompass the other driver and his
passenger’s guilt and fear of being caught and what they will do to avoid that
capture. Do “bad seeds” reoccur generationally? What causes someone to be so
twisted from practically infanthood? Does the past come back to haunt us in
inexplicable ways?
Logan manages to write a gripping psychological
thriller with beautiful and descriptive prose that carries the reader along,
creating a tension that keeps us reading. We have to know what happens. The story is told in alternating voices
allowing the reader to know where the protagonists are in their thinking
processes.
Recommended.”
“I’m really enjoying this so far. Love
the prose, gritty and the characters are more than a little twisted (Jimmy)…”
“Amazing! Read this book in one
evening, it’s so addictive! All the characters are brilliantly created and get
the perfect reaction from the reader. Will definitely be reading more from this
author.”
