Wasted, in essence, is a modern day Treasure Island. It reads smoothly and effortlessly. Well worth the time for a afternoon/evening read.

5.0 out of 5 stars WASTED will leave you wanting more...
Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2015
Verified Purchase
I bought two copies of WASTED and gave one to a sibling. My personal copy was quickly confiscated while visiting another sibling in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I had to quickly complete my reading before leaving so that WASTED would be left with my brother to finish his reading. I enjoyed this thrilling mystery knowing that Player, the main character, was just a slacker, though a good person. Because of his circumstances in his life at the time, he was easily dragged into this life of drug smuggling.The descriptive story of the yacht was almost terrifying, yet exciting to read.
Because I am a Georgia native , now living in the Atlanta area, I was well aware of the places credited in Darracott's writing, I could vividly picture those areas while reading the passages. I couldn't wait to find out the ending, and I recommend this to those who like mystery and crime books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best Laid Plans..., and more!
Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2015
Verified Purchase
A good read! The characters seem to start with the novel idea "Hey, let's run some drugs, make a mint and never have to worry about money again". However, things are not always what they seem and things changes. Surprises occur, inevitabilities play out and "best laid plans ... always go awry". The author deftly took me through the machinations of the plot. Like a lazy south Florida day for the first third; but, then, it became a real page turner. Enough character development; but not too much to encumber the good story. Thanks for all that. Definitely not a waste (ha!)

David Darracott is a fantastic, interesting and skilled story teller. He writes in such a way as to keep the reader panting for more. WASTED is filled very believable plots which are presented with accurate technical explanations and details that make it easy for the reader to visualize scenes. I hope Mr. Darracott keeps the books coming!

5.0 out of 5 stars I really enjoyed reading Darracott's debut novel
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2014
Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed reading Darracott's debut novel, Internal Security, and have been waiting for this talented writer to write a second. Wasted is a rivoting thriller and I highly recommend it. The novel contains all of the elements of a good book: realistic characters, intriguing plot and great suspense and once I got to the middle, I couldn't put it down. Darracott is a very good writer and a master of pacing and developing suspense. Looking forward to his third.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Wasted" is a sensual trip taken by three dreamers. I suggest you accompany them

Up all night trying to find a good place to stop reading, but couldn't. The plot had great twists, but I was very sad when it ended because the characters didn't do what I expected! Author brought much depth to characters so that you feel exactly what they felt. This is a great, tension filled quick read. I'm now a Darracott devotee and on to "Internal Security," another of his books I can't wait to devour!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes You Find Loser Doesn't Apply to You
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2017

"Wasted" lived up to its name for most of the characters in the story. Without giving too much away, the main character's real values became his redemption paired with a lot of good luck! Story moved swiftly, and the characters were mostly believable.

Great Book! I could hardly put it down without reading into the next chapter to see what was going to happen next. The ending was a big surprise to me which I really liked. David was able to resolve a conflict that had continued throughout the book in an unexpected way. Loved it!
Looking forward to reading his next book.
