I received a signed copy of this book in connection
with a miscellaneous internet giveaway and the following is my honest opinion
for this book.
Broody New Englander is a compendium of three stories;
one is a novella and the other two short stories, all of which have come from
the creative mind of its author, Kenneth Weene. Mr. Weene couldn’t have picked
a better adjective for his book, or for the essence which describes all, if not
most, of the characters in the book.
All of the author’s characters come from the memories
he had living in New England and the psychological POV he uses throughout his
endeavor here stem from his work practicing psychology in New York. While some
authors merely attempt this POV, Mr. Weene attempt is, due to his background, far more realistic in
giving us the insights to the human psyche of each of his characters as they
deal with a broad range of emotions going from the power of rage and hate down
to the more sedate one of love, as well as dealing with the oft-time related
topics of disloyalty and injustice.
The almost effortless style of Mr. Weene’s writing is
quite inviting, as it causes the reader to know what is on the next page. And
given this, I’m giving his book 5 STARS.
