My first book review

 Nevada By Joshua S. Porter [the lead singer of the band Showbread]

First off, this book is not for the faint of heart. Right in the first chapter you are slapped in the face with a very graphic scene, although short, it is rather descriptive and makes you squirm in your seat. That little bit is merely a warning for what is to come later on.

The book is set up somewhat like a journal, comprised of “entries” and “official reports” by many different people and sources. This set up gives it a unique quality of having many different sub-stories in perspectives of different people involved. Admittedly, at first it is a bit hard to follow in that format, but one gets used to it rather quickly, and I found it very interesting reading the views and stories of different people in the same situations.

The basic plot of this book I like to sum up in two words; Hitler Dinosaur. Basically a hole opens up in the desert and these chicken-dinosaurs emerge from it. They speak English and are more educated than most Americans. They use their smarts to take over leadership of the United States and do whatever they see fit, brain-washing everyone in the U.S. and killing the few who get in their way.

This book is actually really deep and thought provoking. It makes you realize how gullible and mindless we have become, letting some random dinosaur come in and take over. As long as we all get what we want and are happy why should we care what is happening in the world…right?

This novel can be pretty controversial and is very graphic at times, so it is not for everyone. It is only available for sale through Mr. Porter’s  Web Store
