Readers say *All the Colors of the Dark* is a beautifully written, deeply emotional novel with excellent character building and real, flawed, redeemin...
I always loved the movie Forest Grump because of how they interjected real timelines and events into the story. This was such a beautifully written book that you truly could see all the colors in the dark. The twist, turns and heartfelt moments allowed me to feel every word the characters spoke and picture them as if I knew them.
4.5
The story itself is easily 5⭐️ for me. The trouble was the length and some of the pacing. I can't give an overall rating of 5 to a book that at some points I feel like I'm trudging through or wanting to skim. That's not to say it isn't worth reading - I'm glad I read it. But it is a long-form character driven mystery. Beautiful, but long.

I am not sure if listening to it was the best idea. I liked it but may have loved it had I physically read it. It was slow moving BUT had several twists I never saw coming, but not TOO many twists. Well written. This was my first read from this author. I would pick another up from him! I would recommend this, just now it is long and slow in some spots.
