Written for You Mr Joseph Cognard 9781490468686 Books Reviews

Written for you is a short modern play which focuses on Bob, who works for a publishing company and is attempting to get his family, therapist, friends and co-workers to read a book he has written. Everyone seems to have an excuse as to why they have not been able to read it yet. To complicate things, people in his life, who have started reading the book or have read it, begin to go missing, Bob's subconscious speaks to him, and he has a mysterious scratch on his neck.

In the beginning of the play, I wasn't quite sure what was going on. Was this a comedy? Was this a mystery? The book is dubbed a dark comedy. I'm not a big play reader, so this format took some time to get used to the writing format. It didn't flow very well for me as I am used to reading novels. The play felt slow until the ending when things picked up and there is the *twist/reveal*. As I stated, I am mainly a novel reader. I am used to having more detail, more setup for scenes, etc. I believe this makes the plot easier to follow and helps to move the plot along. There are several characters in this book and none seemed to really make an impression on me. Although we get glimpses of the characters personalities in their dialogue, I found that except for Bob and his therapist, none of the other characters stood out for me. I would have liked a little more detail regarding the different characters.

Als0- while reading I wondered if the “Billy” from Bob’s story was the “Billy” from the Author’s book “Three Twigs for the Campfire”? hmmm

Interesting premise with a nice twist at the end. I think if this play was a little longer with more fleshed out characters, I would have enjoyed it more.

I received a kindle copy of this book from the Author in exchange for an honest review.
I'll be upfront about this. The author sent me a free copy of "Written for You" in exchange for an honest review. I kind of don't want to be honest because I feel bad writing harsh things about a book whose author gave me a free copy, but I was asked to be honest, so that's what I'll do.

I did not really like "Written for You." It's written in the form of a play and consists of mostly dialogue and stage directions, and it tells the story of Bob, an employee at a publishing company who is trying to get somebody, ANYbody, to read the book he wrote. Through the story we see Bob's interactions with his coworkers, his family members, and his therapist.

My first (and possibly most superficial) complaint about "Written for You" is that it looks like nobody made any attempt to copy-edit it. There was some sort of error on virtually every page--extraneous, missing, or abused punctuation; elementary homophone mixups; and missing or repeated words, among other things--stuff a copy-editor worth her salt would've caught and fixed. I understand that the book wasn't traditionally published, but copy-editing is something that needs to be done in order to avoid alienating grammar-conscious readers such as myself.

I also got a negative impression of the author's attitude about the publishing industry. Bob's experiences during the story show people who are miserable with their jobs, and it felt like an attempt to warn people away from joining the publishing business. As someone who wants to someday work in that business, I rather resented seeing it portrayed so negatively.

One essential characteristic of a well-written story is that the readers care about the characters. That did not hold true for "Written for You." Bob's social ineptitude was extreme to the point of absurdity and did not make me feel any empathy for him. The supporting characters all came off too jaded, cynical, and sometimes just plain mean for me to connect with them either. I suppose this might have been a product of the play format of the story, which didn't allow me to see any of the characters' thoughts, but there are other ways to garner empathy for characters, like letting them tell jokes that are actually funny. (The only time I laughed while reading "Written for You" was at the very end of the book, when someone who has gone to a lot of trouble to keep a secret realizes that it was all for naught.)

Another issue I had with this book was that the biggest, most important conflict wasn't revealed until almost the very end. There was no buildup of tension. The story just kind of rambled along aimlessly as Bob tried to get anybody and everybody to read his book until BAM! it turned into a murder mystery. And when the culprit was revealed, I felt like there had been no dropped clues as to the identity of the killer that would've allowed an astute reader to deduce who it was.

I will say one thing I did like about "Written for You"--the ending. The person who murdered several of the other characters realizes that they are going to get caught despite their efforts to conduct a thorough cover-up, and it is deliciously ironic.

I hate to say it, but if I'm being honest, I can really only give this book 2 stars. The basic storyline could have been good if more thought had been put into making the events that happened between the beginning and the end relevant to the plot, helping it move along, but the execution was sadly lacking.
I was surprised at this one. I don't generally like to read 'plays'. This, however, flowed well. I enjoyed the tale, and with just the little bit of direction given by the author, I could easily envision the scenes. The story took a nice twist, which I liked. I would like to read more by Joe.
While uneven, this play shows promise as a one-act or a short screenplay. Adding a subplot would enhance the early scenes, while fleshed out characters would make the enjoyable climax more compelling. I hope Mr. Cognard has the opportunity to see his play produced.
This book is actually written as a play. I found the story compelling and humorous and as a writer, a story to think on. It is a short read and it takes a little getting used to if you haven't read this type of book before. I liked the authors' characters and have a feeling Bob, the author, in this book, is going to remind writers a bit of themselves as Bob tries to get people to read his book. There is a few twists and turns and a bit of a surprise ending that makes this read even more fun.
