review 1: I have recently read ‘Deadly Election’, and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys a gripping thriller, guaranteed to keep them intrigued until the very last page. The characters of ‘Deadly Election’ are all multi faceted and excellently portrayed; the bad guys have their human sides, and the good guys their faults. This makes them so much more believable than the squeaky clean hero versus the thoroughly evil villain portrayed in too many books. ‘Deadly Election’ can be brutal in places, but the brutality is essential to the story; it is not glorified or gratuitous. Set in the Philippines, the story centres on the corruption that blights this country, and the lengths people will go to in order to maintain their wealth and power. However, the tables can be tur... morened, and the corrupt can become the persecuted in a blink of an eye.‘Deadly Election’ is quite simply an excellent book, and I shall certainly be on the look out for more by Arthur Crandon. My advice would be to make sure you have plenty of free time to read when you pick this one up, as you won’t want to put it down in a hurry.
review 2: This is a perfect example of how a good rewrite can greatly improve a book.I received this book free in exchange for an honest review. The first time through, however, I noticed very significant grammar errors and weaknesses in the plot. I informed the author of my concerns. To his credit, he said he'd heard similar critiques from others. He let me know he was in contact with an editor and would be reworking the novel.I told him I would reserve my review until after reading the new edition.I'm glad I did. Deadly Election, in its current form, is a strong novel. It is based on real events and reads like non-fiction. That means it is very believable. In the rewrite, the character of Chloe was greatly enhanced. She gives us a very human and relatively untainted view of this crime-filled, seedy world.A word of caution: this is a very adult novel. There are graphic depictions of violence and violations. IN CONCLUSIONI feel very privileged to have seen the novel in both iterations. If Arthur Crandon continues to grow like this, we can expect very good things from him in the future. less
