Frank Miller, a ghostwriter for a schmaltzy self-help guru, bounces between Germany and the Czech Republic and drinks every beer and smokes every cigarette with a dizzying level of self-awareness. Unbeknownst to his client, he writes everything in the same handful of pubs in Munich, constantly plagued by his addictions and women as unreliable as he is. Cataloging the time just before and after his thirtieth birthday, he’s writing in a hurry for somebody, but who?
a pint of pain eBook Craig Calvert
A Pint of Pain dives into the thoughts and experiences of a writer living in the Czech Republic. It is an interesting and captive read, using an approach that mixes the personal narration of the main character with periodic journal entries, which often allude to past events yet to be revealed. The telling of the narrator's story does not have the feel of a typical novel or book; it is rather quite real and human, and very intimate. Some details are fuzzy, and time jumps around a bit - just as you'd expect from an actual person retelling such a story - and this seems to intensify as the character falls deeper into the pattern of long, drunken nights and unfulfilling encounters.One of my favorite aspects of the book is the author's ability to draw vivid imagery of the settings and scenery without being annoyingly verbose or dry. The reader is connected with the location through the author's revealing of only the details one would notice and remember having actually been there, leaving the rest for our uncertain imaginations - much like recalling memories which have been glazed with inebriation. In short, the story and the style in which it is delivered are quite complementary, and this synergy achieves a level of belief in the reader not often found.
The emotions of the main character come through via the author's tone, mood and attitude. Sarcasm, anger, bitter disdain, regret, infatuation, hope... it is all there, and there is no doubt in the reader's mind that the characters and events are real, and that the narrator is indeed who he claims to be. The extensive, but not at all overdone, use of allusion, foreshadowing and disjoint sequences keep the reader interested and involved, page after page.
Well done.

a pint of pain eBook Craig Calvert Reviews
Quite a page turner....for some reason reminded me a little of the style of Junot Diaz. Enjoyed it, though sometimes I was reading it too late at night and I'm afraid some of the poetry was lost on me. Will look for more works from this author. A nice surprise, it made me look forward to my reading time. A guilty pleasure.
Ridiculous story of the authors drunk and disgusting actions through the country he writes about. A total waste of time and money
In a single word brilliant.
In four words cigarettes, alcohol, travel and women. Need I say more? Okay, maybe I need to ...
You never know exactly what you're going to discover when you start an ebook. In this one I found brilliance, humor, tragedy and a cast of characters I will be thinking about for a long, long time.
If you're the type of reader who enjoys characters that jump off the page and a story that takes you through a wide range of deep emotions, then you're going to love this book.
As an MD that did my residency at the busiest psychiatric unit in the US, I can spot a novel that is based on solid knowledge of psychiatry, Jungian type theory, addiction, and persuasion science. All of these are in the background of this powerful novel, and these underpinnings never getting in the way of the story, but trust me, the science is there. Prepare to be impressed, moved, and WOWED. Men will love this out of empathy. Women will love this because it shows them how we're really pigs, just as they guessed.
