Book Review for October 27TH


 Review by Lena Land Books

Jackson Murphy is a Super-Star Barber, known around town to work hard and play harder.  With his closest confidante Tyrone by his side, Jackson smoothly navigates the brutal streets he was raised in and the relationships he flows in and out of like a true Player.
Author Keith Poole’s voice is both comedic and grounded in reality as he spins his tale about Jackson, a man other men aspire to be and a man who women can’t seem to live without.
As Jackson easily holds the title for “Player of the Year,” his main man Tyrone could be best described as a self-professed “Mr. Nice Guy.”  However, Tyrone is a star in his own right as a man who appears to be the epitome of naiveté and chivalry.  A polar opposite to Jackson, Tyrone is the man most women dream of marrying.
Initially, the book seems to be about a day in the life of Jackson Murphy, yet it is so much more.  This story is about friendship, loyalty, and growing pains.  Surprisingly it is a love story too!
Although October 27th begins with a slow simmer, there is an air of anticipation for what is to come.  Readers will not be disappointed as the final chapters build for an unexpected climax.
