FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Pump Up Your Book in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.

The Old Man’s Request by Joab Stieglitz was an interesting book to say the least. I did have a hard time staying interested in this book but because it was a shorter book, I was able to read it all in a few hours. This is the first book in the series and since I did read this book, I am now thinking about reading the other books in the series because I want to know what is going to happen next and how it all works out in the end. This isn’t a book that I would usually pick up, but I am glad that I did get it to review because I love finding new authors and also getting books that I usually wouldn’t pick up because I have so many great authors and books. This book also has supernatural aspects in it, so I enjoyed that as well. If you are looking for an easy read and something a little bit different than I would recommend this book.
