This is the first time in many months that I read a book that did not pertain to work.
I'm glad I started 2015 with one of my favorite Authors. This man will not disappoint.
I am a fan of the Vigilante series, if the Barry's ever made it to the big screen I would be front and center in the audience with war paint on.
This books reads like the personal diary of the Vigilante himself, perhaps because he is writing of how, where and why he got his start. If you are a reader of the Vigilante series you will not miss many of the puns in this read.
Barry is eloquent, witty and hell bent on stating how he became what he became. All the while not apologizing for it, rather expecting your gratitude.
The first sixteen are detailed confessions of the reason, need and want in hunting down the worst of Canadian criminals and bringing them to the justice the system failed to.
You can't help but cheer this guy on. I mean, being a vigilante is a crime in itself... but let's not split hairs, let's just review this wonderful book written with true intent.
I especially appreciate Barry's notes here and there about the Lieutenant.
What makes this book a page turner is the very way the narration takes you through his history. I am most pleased that this series is ongoing, although this as I stated reads like a journal, the books show how Barry not only grows into his 'activity' but does so with like minded people. The same Lieutenant mentioned in this book in some ways has helped Barry grow.
As a reader, I too grow in the knowledge that not everything is as it seems. And... your beliefs will need to sit on a shelf because they will waiver. He's that good.
True to his talents, Claude Bouchard keeps to the 5 star rating in my reviews. Bring it on Mr. Bouchard, I'm still Vigilante hungry.
