Review: This is a quick story that covers the vague background we are given in the book, Final Encore by Scotty Cade, about main character, Ian Dillon. It leaves me to wonder why Final Encore was not revised and this background somehow incorporated before it had been released as a second edition. My mixed feelings are really because the only reason to read this story is if you have not read or intend to read Final Encore.
All that aside, it’s nice to have Ian’s background in a bit more detail. Ian is such a sweet guy and it’s nice to find out what kind of “kid” (well, young man, he is 21 years old) how he became the person that he is in Final Encore.
I recommend reading this after reading Final Encore (not what I did), because I only appreciated this story after reading the novel.
