Koins Motel The Last Resort eBook D O'BRIEN
We meet many a character in this "down but not out" story of surviving in a challenging environment. We see it through "her" eyes, but never really get to know who "she" is. This is a good thing. It allows the reader to become "her", and put ourselves into her shoes. As we meet character after character, getting to see moments in their lives that are unresolved, leaving us wondering what ever happened to those characters, much like "she" herself probably does now and then when she looks back on "her" time in Koins. It's a voyeuristic activity reading this kind of book, getting to see into those private moments that belong to "her" as she is exposed to characters "she" never have met in "her" previous existence. It's a story of appreciation of life in all its shades of grey, and leaving those darker days behind more aware of how we all impact on each other. It's simple and effective. A great read.Product details

Koins Motel The Last Resort eBook D O'BRIEN Reviews
A fine story. Well written. Almost unbelievable how the economics works. Almost! Many are too familiar with the s***ty hand life has dealt them. Very good book.
Decent, easy read. It is very loyal to its title never getting to know the main character very well. Yet she is probably the most relatable. Of course I found one character I can relate myself to as would anyone who reads this. It’s a dirty shameless story. At the end leaves you saying, aw it’s over. It does give you a boost of confidence in your own life choices and situation.
Seaside Holiday Resort; Queensland Coast (Australia) had once been the home for millionaires & high-rollers.
A dilapidated Koins Motel (Complex) owned by Mr. & Mrs. Koin now stands as a monument of what once was.
Flashback.
How many different PPL once lived there?
What were their lives like?
What about their individual personalities?

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.
A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written memoir book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great movie, or mini TV series. Based on a true story. It was just OK for me so I will rate it at 4/5 stars.

I have had this book on my shelf to review for so long that I was really feeling guilty about it. I did start it a long while ago, but I just couldn't bring myself to get it finished. So, working through a chapter a night, I finally got it done. I did receive a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, so honesty is what I'll give.
There really was so much wrong with this book. But I hate to begin with a negative, so let's try for what was right. The premise was a snapshot into the disparate lives of a number of people who pass through the Koins Motel - more a place for temporary living than an actual hotel - at an unnamed location on the coast of Queensland. The Koins themselves are religious zealots who are allergic to spending any money on the property and, as long as they get paid, seem to be willing to turn a blind eye to most of the undesirable behaviour. The story itself is told by an unnamed itinerant woman, referred to only as 'she'. People come, people go, but overall they are all from the poorer, more troubled end of society. As such, it was an interesting look at human behaviour and psychology, and an interesting series of observations about a particular end of society.
However, I think it was trying to be 'literary' and it really didn't work. Overall, there was no actual story, just vignettes which only loosely hung together. I have no problem with a book without a plot, but this felt forced. The ubiquitous 'she' just annoyed me. Why didn't she have a name? If she was supposed to be an impartial observer, then fine, keep her anonymous, but she was neither impartial nor periphery to each vignette. She was an actual character and therefore I found myself simply annoyed by the forced anonymity. Furthermore, there seemed to be very little variation between each character and vignette drugs or alcohol (or both), violence, police, neighbourly fights, usually ending up with the character leaving the motel and another one coming in. I can understand that this was a story about coming and going, but I felt each character ought to be present to explore a specific and perhaps individual aspect of this life.
In terms of the writing, there were so many misused commas that the book itself looked like a pepper-shaker had been dropped on it. This should have been picked up by an editor. Similarly, there was far too much word repetition between sentences. At first I though both of this aspects were literary affectations, but it didn't take me long before I decided it was just bad editing. As such, the sentences felt jerky and I couldn't help get annoyed at the utterly superfluous punctation used throughout the novel.
The idea behind the novel was good and it could have been something great. But the execution of it just let it down. I finished it (eventually), but I didn't really enjoy it.
I received a copy of this book from StoryCartel in exchange for an impartial and honest review.
