Coma, California by Kyle D. Garrett

4.0

You must know, Kyle did EVERYTHING on this book. No agent. No editor. No marketing team. This is all him. That's why the story is so great, because its in a very raw form. Through the pages you get an intimate glimpse of his knack for descriptive writing. He's incredibly good at immersing the reader and their five senses into the story. Sometimes it may seem a bit much, a bit rough around the edges-but still a beautiful story with a purpose. This isn't a bunch of fluff between the covers, there is a grand message here.

You get it all in the story of grace and hope and how we typically find it in the most unlikely of places. Jesus used parables to tell a story so we could easily find the truth-Kyle has done the same here, for the gospel. He has taken a story so familiar, so real, so relateable-only to direct our focus to the King.

I can only imagine the angst, anxiety, and excitement that comes from being so exposed and vulnerable when having others critique and analyze your art. I give Kyle's "Coma, California", a 4.5 out of 5 stars! There are some tweaks that need to be done, but that is totally expected from a debut, self-published novel. I will, without a doubt, read whatever this man puts forth. I can stand behind any author that writes from the heart like he does.
