Gripping! 5 Stars
"It’s a cliché to say this, but I was simply hooked the moment I began reading this book. Dash’s first literary offering is a well-crafted read, full of interesting and nuanced characters I could easily relate to and longed to see more of. The plots, twists and turns had me eager to discover what was going to happen next...."

Thoroughly Enjoyed the Read! 5 Stars
"Written with such detail I was able to picture the setting and visualize the characters."

All The Ingredients for a Movie! 4 Stars
"Excitement, humor, intrigue, mystery, romance, and suspense. Even social issues, such as homelessness, gun violence, child welfare, and prisoner reentry find their way into the cleverly woven narrative. The writing style reminds me of the late E. Lynn Harris, and one of my friends, a retired theater and communications professor, agrees."

Dash began by writing short stories, poems and DIY comic books out of looseleaf paper as a child. In his teen and college years he started acting and writing plays. As a twenty year old college student he wrote, co-produced, directed and starred in, Black Mirrors. The play went on to have a theatrical run in New York City. Dash then transitioned into writing and performing spoken word poetry for fifteen years before becoming an author. He published his debut novel, The Donor: When Conception Meets Deception in 2016, a romantic suspense novel about the perfect guy living a perfect lie. On Valentine's Day 2018 Brother Dash will release Sweet Mojo: One Man's Descent Through Danger & Delight, a romantic suspense & mystery novel. Sweet Mojo is Book One of The Mojo Series.

I can see, taste, feel, hear and smell everything that they can. You do such a great job with language." Another reader remarked "I hope this isn't insulting, but you're a very pretty writer. Your words. They're so pretty. But your dialogue is so real. Each character has a unique voice. I always know which one is talking. And I love them."

Very descriptive story

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2017

The way the author writes is so real, the dialogue is like everyday discussions. His descriptions put you IN the scene. The way he describe a place like Brooklyn...it makes you feel like the city is a character. The characters were great and some were very relatable, I know someone just like Chase! I also know women like that bat sh*t crazy one he met.

This was a very well written novel that kept me on my toes in the second half. I loved every part of it!

Engaging!

Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2016

I recently retired as a college librarian, and for most of my professional career, I rarely had time to enjoy recreational reading. In order to keep company with award-winning novels, I became an avid listener to NPR's The Radio Reader. While this doesn't make me a literary critic, it does give me an informed taste for contemporary fiction.

When I heard that Brother Dash was writing his first novel, I looked forward to getting a copy soon after the publication date, and I did. I was already impressed with the creative talents of Dash the spoken-word artist and essayist, so I had high expectations for The Donor. Overall, I was not disappointed, and reading the novel was a refreshing break from my daily routine of caring for a medically disabled parent.

The Donor's well-conceived story line has all the ingredients for a movie adaptation: excitement, humor, intrigue, mystery, romance, and suspense. Even social issues, such as homelessness, gun violence, child welfare, and prisoner reentry find their way into the cleverly woven narrative. The writing style reminds me of the late E. Lynn Harris, and one of my friends, a retired theater and communications professor, agrees.

The novel, unfortunately, suffers from a lack of judicious editing, which is a common complaint about books published on the CreateSpace platform. Discerning readers will certainly notice. Scenes of physical intimacy tend to be overly descriptive, leaving almost nothing to the reader's imagination. True, the author avoids explicit language, but he privileges overt sexuality over subtle sensuality.

One of the novel's later chapters opens with a stereotype straight outta the Mississippi River delta of the 1950s. The author's characterization of the taxicab driver ignores the Gullah-Geechee cultural presence in southeastern Georgia and misrepresents the professionalism of taxicab companies serving the Savannah/Hilton Head International Airport. To his credit, Brother Dash correctly identifies the iconic drive-in theater in Jessup, home to a federal prison, but anyone who has eaten breakfast at a Waffle House restaurant knows that scrapple is not on the menu.

The Donor isn't the perfect novel, but it's still a worthwhile read. In spite of a few flaws, there are enough twists and turns to keep readers fully engaged right to the very end.

I took The Donor on vacation and read it in two days. I could not put it down! The character development is great; I felt as though I knew them personally. I would love a sequel.

I enjoyed reading this book in so many ways

Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2016

I enjoyed reading this book in so many ways. The author developed each character with their respective characteristics. In addition, each character had their unique names with their own uniqueness and some subtle cultural norms. A quality that each reader can find their own cultural connection. Additionally, the way in which the details were laid out, ie, rooms with furniture, art work, the different types of food and drinks. The depiction and ambiance of some restaurants were fully appreciated. In other words, the author seemed to have tapped into a global cultural importance and the research came through.

The author literally dropped "bread crumbs" through out that seemed to grab your eagerness to read what to come in the subsequent chapters. As a result, it was very difficult to put the book down. The chapters were full of twists but, I do not want to spoil it for those who plan on reading the book.

The main plot and theme of the book was well done and overall the book was well written. In fact, I am looking forward to a part 2, particularly to see how some characters could become an inspiration even though they were in some unfortunate situations.

Good First Effort! Waiting For More!

Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2016

Verified Purchase

I'm enjoying reading this book a great deal. As a first effort I can appreciate how challenging it must have been for the author to create characters that are interesting and that have some depth to them beyond simple cliches. Even though while reading the book you do encounter some of these, the author does make an effort to build out the characters beyond those cliches and stereotypes as the story develops. Written in a urban / drama voice, this book may not be everyone's "cup of tea" but I found it structured and written in a way that will maintain your interest and that has a story line / plot that takes you on a journey and has you wanting more. Kudos to the author for a good first effort! I'm sure as he continues to publish more stories he will just get better at story and character development. I'm looking forward to his next work. I recommend you read this one even if this isn't one of your favorite topics or your usual go to genre.

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2018

At first I was not liking how the main character was looking to be naive by not paying attention to the ex and her feelings,or how the blackmailers were trying to set him up. Like why no just tell on yourself then to go through all that. But then in the end it all came together well written. Peace

It’s a cliché to say this, but I was simply hooked the moment I began reading this book. Dash’s first literary offering is a well-crafted read, full of interesting and nuanced characters I could easily relate to and longed to see more of. The plots, twists and turns had me eager to discover what was going to happen next, and what our protagonist goes through was nothing less than awkward, realistic and above all hilarious.
I particularly enjoyed our hero’s journey of self-discovery and appreciated the hard choices he had to make. He is a well-rounded character who is forced to face some hard home truths.
Well done Dash, can’t wait to read the next instalment.
