Testament David Cope

Testament follows nine stories intertwined in ways that only those truly dedicated to finding those ways after much thought will discover. The stories do not have any characters in common and the fragments do not necessarily continue in order. Surprisingly readable due to the clarity of writing, Testament will keep readers awake at night with guessing the endings of each of the 'stories' being the cause. Many will wrestle with continuity, waiting for characters and plots to continue, but not finish until the ending and the manner in which Cope provides little obvious help in making the fragments connect. But, trust me, nothing here is arbitrary or random in any way. The overall glue will keep your attention and when you figure out the novel in full, its surprise ending in your mind will make it worth every bit of the time you've spent in thinking it through.
