Review:
"Love Octagon" by Felicia Rogers was a good read. How Felicia Rogers told this story was really unique. I laugh so hard at all of the things that were going on in the novel. Truly "Love Octagon" was humorous. I guess you can truly say be careful of what you wish for. This was especially so for Kevin Earl Smith when he took a weeks' vacation. Kelvin had dated a co-worker named Angela but nothing really had come of it(so he thought). Kevin had many plans during his vacation such as cleaning his house, fixing the patio, and mowing the yard. Kevin had the guys over from work that evening (Mark, Fred, Jerry, and Tom) for BBQ. They all had an enjoyable time talking men talk and one thing that had been discussed from one of those talk shows was never having to lift a finger if you have multiple wives. It seemed that Kevin really did some deep thinking about this because the very next day when he is doing his run he stops a mugger wearing a ski mask from attacking
a old bag lady. After he chases the mugger off the the bag lady..she tells Kevin that he has one wish. Kevin had no glue what that meant. However, when he returned home strange things had happened... there was now clean laundry, clean floors- wiped cabinets, outside-the mowing had been done, broken shelf fixed and CD's picked up.This was very strange because he had not left his home clean in any way. This left
Kevin wondering who had done this.... his mother, friends, or gremlins?
The next morning upon awakening, Kevin has seven wives, nine children and a larger clean house. The thought of being in the Twilight Zone came to his mind! Where did these people come from? Now Kevin was wondering how all of these people could exist in one house and how in the havens could he survive this. Would he able to be with Angela... maybe as number eight? How would Kevin get out of this mess? Each day of that week was a interesting one and in the end was it a ........
Well, I don't want to tell you what happens next but this is a good read.. do pick up this novel to find out!
Truly, Felicia Rogers has a way with her writing that you keep you turning the pages.The characters were really interesting and I liked the one phrase: What happens during vacation ... stay on vacation. And yes, I would recommend the book "Love Octagon"
as a good read.
