Book Review: A Means to an End By Peter Martin
What people do to satisfy their needs
With flashing lights and blasting music Diane dances with her best friend, Glenda.
Dave approaches Diane on the dancefloor, quickly groping her and ignoring her plea to leave her alone.
“A voice came from behind. ‘Is he bothering you?’
Diane turned to see a tall dark curly-haired guy approaching.”
What follows is a punch to Dave’s eye, a brawl, leading to the bouncers unfairly throwing out the two girls and Raymond, their champion.
Such begins this story set in October 2010 when Raymond and Diane first meet.
The definition of the phrase “a means to an end” is “something that you do because it will help you achieve something else,” making it a most appropriate title for this novel as readers get to know Diane, Raymond, Glenda, and Diane’s parents more intimately as the story develops.
One description of A Means to an End:
“A tale of love, loss, lust, about what people will do to satisfy their needs, and how it can make or break them.”
You’ll want to keep reading to follow the couple through three tumultuous years, absorbed in their actions and interactions, until the surprising conclusion set in July 2013.
