#BookReview - The Three Sisters by Bryan Taylor #Parody #ReviewShare

The Three SistersThe Three Sisters by Bryan Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was raised a Catholic and was looking forward to this book. Satire and parody when done well may mean stomach aching laughter. This book had some of that. But it had also missed a good editor. While some unstructure in a book may mean style this was a slightly too disjointed for my liking.

I loved the author's take on the media and the hypocrites from church because truth be told we see that everyday. Love one another, but yes I'm going to gossip till I turn blue. The rules of religion that are adjusted as some people go along in life.

All of that made me laugh. If you are looking for a life changing read this book is definitely not for you. If you are looking for a few laughs and a good time, this is it.

Would I recommend this read? Yes, you will definitely be entertained by this book.

Overall assessment:
Content: 4/5
Editing: 3.5/5
Formatting: 4/5
Pacing: 3.5/5

Offensive content?: Based on language and settings, I would recommend this book for adult readers.

Disclosure: I received a review copy of this book from the author. I did not receive any payment in exchange for this review nor was I obliged to write a positive one.

#Satire - 7 Questions with Bryan Taylor


1. Tell us a bit about your family.
I am an only child. This gave me more time to read, and I took advantage of it. My parents got divorced when I was twelve, and I ended up living with my dad. He always pushed me to be successful and always supported me in what I did, so that helped. Also, he was a preacher, and both my grandparents were preachers, and that is where my religious rebellion comes from. I have never married and have no children.

2. What scares you the most?
The government because they have power of your life and they usually make the wrong decisions because they do what benefits them, not what benefits you.

3. What makes you happiest?
Laughing and hearing other people laugh.

4. Why do you write?

I write because I enjoy entertaining people. I enjoy the process of thinking up interesting things, especially humorous twists that I hope will delight people, and then, of course, hearing the response from my readers.

5. What motivates you to write?

I write because I enjoy entertaining people. I enjoy the process of thinking up interesting things, especially humorous twists that I hope will delight people, and then, of course, hearing the response from my readers.

6. What writing are you most proud of?
My novel, The Three Sisters, is the work I am most proud of. It is my only novel, so far, so the choice was easy. Still, it is not only the book I wanted to write, but one I would have wanted to read. It has all the elements in it that I enjoy in a book, and I hope that readers can appreciate these things as well.

7. What are you most proud of in your personal life?
It would have to be the work I have done for the company I work for, Global Financial Data, in providing financial data to our customers.
