This was a strange book.
If twists and turns would make a book great- then the sheer amount amassed in this book would make it legendary.
Still, I had a hard time rating this book, as well as reviewing it.
Simply because I haven’t read any other like it.
Or simply because it’s very difficult to say what you think about a book without giving examples. I can’t really give any of those, at least not from this book without spoiling it. That’s why I compiled them all and spoiler tagged them (there’s a lo ...more

Wow, is the only word I could use to describe this book. It snuck up on me really quickly and before I knew it I was entranced by this story. I've already read it twice and I can see a third time in the near future. With so many twists and turns and a main character that I fell in love with I couldn't help routing for him. I would HIGHLY recommend this story to all my friends and family. Doctor Gillespie's Discovery gets my seal of approval.

I was intrigued right up to the end. I did not see this book coming nor the author certainly one to look out for

Much like the narrator of his novel, Doctor Gillespie's Discovery, J. R. Duke lives alone out in the boonies on the big island of Hawaii where life is generally always peaceful and quiet, interrupted only occasionally by volcano eruptions, earthquakes, and hurricanes.
