Thought-Provoking Message in Fiction


The Camera Never Lies by David Rawlings

This book contained a unique concept—a camera that tells the truth in the photographs that it produces.  Daniel inherits the camera from his beloved Gramps and is shocked at the images he receives from the photo lab.  When faced with the truth about the people and situations in his life, he has a dilemma: continue to hide the truth while risking the debilitating consequences or own up to the truth, facing the painful consequences and escaping the dire predictions of the photographs.  His marriage to Kelly and the health and life of their child hang in the balance.

This book was a departure from the type of fiction I normally read, but I enjoyed it.  The story was thought-provoking and the plot contained an unexpected surprise.  The characters were well-drawn and felt real.  The author’s proposition—a camera that tells the truth—was interesting and kept me reading.  I am still pondering the book’s message.

A reader who enjoys fiction with an intriguing message and a bit of improbability in the plot, will most likely enjoy this book.  I received a free copy from the publisher for this, my honest review.
