Book Description

July 19, 2007
Roman Swivel is a seemingly meek and mild-mannered transfer student that joins the ranks of Collingston High School's senior class and works as a student janitor. Roman immediately finds himself on the radar of the school's big man on campus and is ridiculed by his sheep-like classmates. Appearances can be deceiving, however. For beneath the surface, Roman is a gifted genius with unbelievable talents and a haunted past wrought with violence and tragedy. Hounded by his former mentor Agent Johnson, and a shadowy government agency known only as the NN, Roman seeks refuge and normalcy in this peaceful midwestern town, where he'll unexpectedly find friendship, love, and belonging. Unfortunately, for our unlikely hero, his choice of towns will also set him on a deadly collision course with its seedy underbelly, the demons of his own past, and ultimately his own fate.

2.0 out of 5 stars Decker's "The Janitor", October 27, 2007
This review is from: The Janitor (Perfect Paperback)
A good effort by an imaginative, new author. I would have liked to see more development for the three main characters. And, there was a tense problem throughout - flipping from first person to third person without warning. The dozens of grammatical and spelling errors in this edition are extremely distracting. There were a few strange and unnecessary subplots that actually made me laugh, but I don't think the author intended them to be funny. The conclusion was an obvious elipse to a sequel. If he learns to spell, and stops butchering the English language, his stories are worthy of a read. I am hopeful he'll make enough on this book to hire a copy editor for his next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Streamline the story, July 17, 2009

This review is from: The Janitor (Kindle Edition)
After I got past all of the grammatical errors it was an interesting story. I did not see the need for so many different story lines. I got bored when the story veered off so many times. It was sometimes difficult to read when characters were speaking back and forth with no punctuation to denote the change. Over all the plot of the story was good, the writer has got a great imagination.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wow, April 2, 2009
This review is from: The Janitor (Perfect Paperback)
As an English teacher, I am speechless. This must have been a vanity-publisher item, as I detect the lack of an editor.

Amateurish at best.
