THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT - "A THOUSAND PIECES" BY IAN J. KEENEY (MY BOOK REVIEW)

Ian J. Keeney is a fresh, new voice whose style is as varied as his young career. His lyrical range is immense, moving from personal and provocative to poetic and philosophical. Mr. Keeney's writing is stark and honest. Reading his novel is like discovering a private journal. His style is accessible, and he invites the reader to join him on his journey.

Mr. Keeney allows us to ask important questions about our own lives. As he takes the reader along on this intellectual, emotional, and spiritual path, he gives voices to multiple characters, and introduces us to different points of view. What begins as a story about marriage, parenthood, and relationships, suddenly transforms into an intense psychological thriller.

Mr. Keeney brings his film experience to his first novel, by creating visuals and ushering characters into suspenseful scenarios. His relatable style is so personal, it creates a visceral experience for the reader. If Mr. Keeney decides to crossover "A Thousand Pieces" into another medium, I would suggest a possible book on CD, with multiple voices to introduce us to the diverse narrators of his novel.

In closing, Mr. Keeney's first attempt at novel writing is a success, and I wish him all the best in his future endeavors. For someone who has been successful in movies, and music, he just adds onto his achievements with "A Thousand Pieces".

"A Thousand Pieces" by Ian J. Keeney is available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com
