Hilary James, J. R. Leach: Farmer and the Fald (2022, Independently Published) 5 stars

Excellent fantasy story

5 stars

I enjoy fantasy and have followed JR Leach for a while. I finally purchased his book and was pleased with the story. There were times I was confused about the details of the fantasy world Leach created and was displeased by his use of archaic words in parts but overall the story was well thought out and built up nicely with a few surprises and twists and great storytelling. Will defintely read other books from Leach.

Amazing psychedelic journey

5 stars

This book was quite an amazing read. I loved following the adventures of McMurphy as he bucked against the system and tried to help those around him. Seeing through the eyes of Bromden with his psychedelic descriptions were like watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon and really made this story enjoyable.
