Free Ebook Online Stones To Abbigale, by Onision
I want to be direct, my name is Greg. I go by “Onision” online. This book is made up of events that occurred in my own life mixed with fiction from the made up life of James. James is essentially a better version of myself. His home, his school & his life all resemble my own at his age. The people James analyzes and is surrounded by are not so unlike those I’ve known as well. I have experienced much of the loss James has however his happier moments are more often than not also mine. I want to share my story without it being purely non-fiction. I simply felt this approach would make for a far better book. At points I cried while writing this, at others I laughed. Stones To Abbigale is not just a book I wrote, it is a piece of who I am.

I haven't even read a book cover to cover in about 14 years aside from Stones To Abbigale. The above information might be enough to make most readers run, but it's the truth. Regardless, I wrote Stones to Abbigale from the heart. One of the best ways to better understand who I am is to read the book. Learning about James means learning about me.

It made me curious, so I wanted to see what it was about. I read it and returned it. This book is crap. Art needs to make you feel something, to inspire emotions and thought. And Stones to Abbigale completely fails to do so. I would believe a thirteen year old girl wrote this. When I finished, I couldn't recall a single event, it made that negligible of an impression. Save your money.

By process of elimination, Greg has successfully managed to make books like Fifty Shades of Grey or Twilight seem infinitely more appealing. There is at LEAST one run-on sentence per paragraph and commas are used in the wrong place. It's incredibly hard to read, due to the repetitive words, tense shifts and plot holes.The story follows the narrator, James, who is basically Onision in his personality. He falls in love with a girl called Abbi, and they face a lot of terrible, improbable things together. Throughout the entire book, the reader doesn't actually get any idea what James, Abbi, or any of the other characters look like. We're left to guess, which isn't great for immersion. Abbi is the typical 'damsel in distress' character, who agrees with James on every single thing. At no point does she disagree with what he has to say, so she really does have no personality except for being a carbon copy of James. He, on the other hand, is a monotonous hypocrite who hates everyone. His dialogue and narration is bland and he only cares about Abbi. At one point after a school shooting, there was a person cowering in fear as he was trying to find Abbi. He reacted by saying "The thought of Abbi shook me out of the sorrow I felt for that student." (It scares me to think that someone actually wrote that seriously). James cares more about him and Abbi's relationship more than anything. This reflects Greg's personality in my opinion. He even killed off a character so Abbi and James could have center stage.In general, this book is horrendously written. The characters are under developed, the story line is ludicrous (a ridiculous amount of horrifying events happen in one place around the same time), and the dialogue is robotic and mechanical. Too many adjectives and adverbs are crammed into one sentence, to the point where it looks like it's been written by a child. James constantly talks about how other people are feeling, what they're doing after he leaves the room etc. I could go on, but I've written too much. Anyone who gave this a 5 star is clearly just another brainwashed fan, as any sane person can see that Onision only wrote this book because everyone else on YouTube has done it. It's quite sad, really. Do I even need to say don't buy this book?

By Stevie I want to preface this by letting everyone know that even if I didn't have a preexisting disdain for this book's author, I would STILL be saying the exact same things I am going to say about this novel in this review. With that out of the way, where does truly even begin with a book this bad?The official author's summary of Stones to Abbigale reads as follows: "I am Gregory Jackson, I use the name "Onision" online to represent myself. To be blunt, Stones to Abbigale is the first book I've ever written. I haven't even read a book cover to cover in about 14 years aside from Stones To Abbigale. The above information might be enough to make most readers run, but it's the truth. Regardless, I wrote Stones to Abbigale from the heart. One of the best ways to better understand who I am is to read the book. Learning about James means learning about me. I don't want to sell this book, I want Stones To Abbigale to sell itself, so if you're not interested, I hope you find a book you want to read elsewhere soon. Thank you for taking the time to read this."What does any of this have to do with the plot? Absolutely nothing at all. In fact the actual summary to 'STA' was rewritten multiple times over the first few days of its release and even then still had nothing whatsoever to do with the actual contents of the story. Stones to Abbigale is literally just the story of a High School Junior named James and his progress at getting into the pants of his love interest Abbi. He takes advantage of friends, family, teachers, acquaintances, even takes advantage of a SCHOOL SHOOTING in order to finally gain the ultimate prize in his "love quest". I honestly wish that this was an exaggeration but unfortunately it isn't; this is literally all the story is about and the reader is tasked with suffering through this nonsense until the end of the story.The first thing that anyone reading will realize about our lead character James is that he has an astronomical God complex. From the first page and onward he describes anything and everything with such an utmost arrogance and conceit that is nearly impossible to want to hear another word out of this kid. Believe it or not he also happens to harbor what can only be described as a jealous contempt for everyone around him. Be it kids talking amongst themselves minding their own business, he judges them, if they're a jock on the football team who also does not bother him at all, he judges them as well. To our lead character everyone and anyone is merely a faceless bland stereotype and in his mind they will never anything lesser or greater than that. This level of sheer narcissism makes it impossible to like this character at all. To make matters even worse he suffers from "Edward Cullen Syndrome". This is a term I use to help define a male lead in a story that is near sociopathically obsessed with the love interest for no explained reason. Normal people do not ''require'' a girlfriend in order to live a normal life, a healthy relationship is good to have and it's completely normal for a person to desire love however when a character is shown to be totally codependent on that love for their own stability, well congratulations you've just created your first mentally unstable character!The relationship that James and Abbi develop in this story is not what I would call healthy. Though the author has given Abbi about as much personality as a cardboard box one can gather from how she's described as someone going through a patch of depression and she's described as having to unfortunately deal with someone pretty bad issues at home. She has an abusive father who at one point in the story is locked up for assaulting her and is also one of the many characters in this book that exist only to drive the story forward. Other than being the guy who abuses his kid, Abbi's father has no reason to be in the story and it's already a messed up enough thing that...well...that he's only here to abuse his own daughter because he's an alcoholic. I do not see any other reason aside from this being a rough draft released as a final product for "STA" to have the sheer amount of dead end or just pointless characters as it does. There are people in this book mentioned by name in the first few chapters...that we never hear about ever again. That's not creative writing, that's just a waste of the readers time to include people that we're not going to see the story of described further, and thusly don't care about. Let's get back James' and Abbi's relationship for a moment.Other than a few glances across the classroom, clunky random dialogue, and some of the most skin peeling awkward exposition you'll hope to find outside of bad fan-fiction we never truly see them develop a "relationship"; the entire story they just happen to suit each others temporary emotional needs due the events in the story yet feel they are obsessed with one another for unexplained reasons. Normally if someone to were to pen this in a Young Adult novel it'd be best to use it as an example of why most teenage relationships never work: you're only developing temporary feelings and often neither party gets to know either person well enough to make it really last. There's a huge difference between the kind of dating I did when I was a Junior in High School and the serious relationship I'm in now as an adult. There's a entire spectrum of emotions here that these two should be going through so we have a reason to watch their relationship unfold but that never happens. They just fall for each other and that's it. Again, this is giving the reader zero reason to have any interest in their relationship or anything that happens between these two people. Given the author of this book and nature of what it is that he's written...this is a few bothersome projection. The other of this book, a person who more often refers to himself as his YouTuber name "Onision" than he does his real name has had a long history of pursuing completely thoughtless idealized relationships with women and has had no problem airing the dirty laundry of the obvious aftermath of such pursuits. He's twice tried this with girls fresh out of High School so to write a book like STA, admit in the description to the book that rather than simply just a novel this is a "piece of who I am", this is just...disturbing. When you write, you write about what you know, and apparently all this author knows how to do is take advantage of young girls in emotionally unstable home situations to just place them into emotionally unstable relationships with himself until things ultimately crash in flames. There is just too much reality injected into this book and its none of the good kind. The saddest part is that this author/YouTuber personality has over and over proved he cannot take criticism. Not only has he tried to vet the reviews on this story encouraged people who haven't even read through it to praise, he's gone so far as to go on his various social media and insult people who did read this but had the same exact reaction that I have here: that it's trash.Moving along with the story, you'll eventually come across yet another character that only exists to nudge the plot uphill like the little engine that could: Seth. He is the prototypical abusive boyfriend type. As you might expect a character like this to be, he's an unlikeable jealous turd who reacts like an attack dog to anyone making a move towards Abbi, even if its just as a friendly gesture. He has no provocation in most instances to be this way and its hardly explained at all why he's this big of a tool throughout the book. He has hardly any backstory like most of the people in this and ends up becoming the, spoiler alert, school shooter. I really don't understand why he even needed to be in the plot at all other than to make James seem like an even bigger whiteknight tryhard than he already was. Abbi's character had it bad enough being the child of an abusive alcoholic father so why did the author feel the need to make life even worse on her? That's pretty cold. In a sense it explains why she's so gullible to codependency, but it goes to show also how big of a dick James really is in this book. He's willing to take advantage of her obvious need for emotional stability after being in an abusive relationship when Seth is taken out of the picture when not only she ends up dumping him, but also gets put into a coma when the character Davis beats his head in after the school shooting scene. He also removes Abbi's father from the picture when her father is locked up for being caught abusing his daughter and she presses charges. He swoops in for the kill by suggesting she stay with him instead of doing something logical such as staying with non-psychotic family and potentially seeking therapy caused by these emotional disturbances.There is also something that I haven't mentioned yet about Abbi's character. It is revealed during the book that she was apparently gang raped by an unnamed group of boys once and was forced to keep the baby of her pro-life school counselor. TO MAKE IT EVEN WORSE, Seth found out she was pregnant and beat her until she miscarried. Pardon my french, but what the f***. Why does this person need to suffer so much in this story? Seriously why is this author practically torturing this poor person. When you remember that this is supposedly an expansion on issues from his real life you just have to scratch your head and ask "what the hell is wrong with this guy". None of this works because what started off as a corny teen love novel is reading to me like a psychological thriller. I almost expect a Denzell Washington like to show up at some point and investigate Abbi's death of James murders her. I don't know at all why Seth gets made the school shooter in this book when at this point it is absolutely clear that out of the two James has the more severe issue: he's a complete sociopath.The school shooting sequence in this book is in such graphic detail that I'm not even going to go into it here. I can't imagine why most of this book is boring mindless tripe yet this particular scene, and the car accident caused death of Davis's character, has to be in such vivid detail...but they are and it just comes off as pretty bizarre. This reminds me of the author's tendency to glorify death and violence in near extreme ways in his "comedic" YouTube videos as its almost the exact same tone. After the school shooting scene ALL of the characters just seem to move on from this instantly. I mean that. They have hardly any emotional response to watching people die in a senseless act of murder whatsoever. The feel its their fault for doing nothing only for a moment and then it just becomes an after thought. Why? I have no idea. People wouldn't react this way in reality. There are still people who witnessed the Columbine incident who are in therapy to this day, and the even insinuate that a character that has been through the levels of emotional trauma and instability that Abbi has would just be A-OK after this is stupid. It is absolutely stupid to even think for a moment that it makes any sense to make a broken person essentially just get over something like that. Obviously this author has no IDEA AT ALL what PTSD is, how it works, what it does to someone, nor does he even care to look it up for research to his book.This book features a sex scene as well. Mind you these characters are about fifteen and I really don't how I feel about a married father near 30 years old writing something like this in the braindead manner he's done. This is not to say that scenes like this haven't been put into widely published novels before, they have. Dean Koontz's book "Twilight Eyes", first published in 1987 through Berkley Publishing, features a pretty descriptive and vivid sex scene between two characters around the age of 17 and a half. The difference between the two scenes and their explicity is how they are handled and written. Twilight Eyes handles its sex scene well because it actually shows passion between the two characters and aids in showing how deep the relationship between them goes. It helps the story. In STA, the sex scene is utterly pointless. It makes no sense at all to be here and is written worse than even some of the most tacky fan fiction I've read. I don't want to be too graphic, but at the same time, I will have to be otherwise this cannot be properly described...so here we go.All he does is go down on Abbi for about 20 minutes and apparently he does this over and over through out the day. They take breaks for "water and to recover", and just become rabbits again. WHY DOES THIS NEED TO BE IN THE STORY. What does this add? Why does the reader have to care they just boned? You get the picture.Eventually the entire thing ends up a confusing note where there is no closure at the end of the book, throughout all of this psychotic nonsense Abbi and James stay together and we don't even get to know whether or not it's "happily ever-after", the last sentences are just about how James' life is complete now that he still has Abbi. If the sequel to this book isn't included in either the SAW series or is not edited by Eli Roth I will be just as disappointed as I was with this turd of a book.All in all, "Stones to Abbigale" sucks, and it sucks hard. This is a book written by a man completely in love with himself that has had multiple mental breakdowns online and apparently offline for people saying more or less everything I've said here. This author doesn't seem to even grasp the most basic things about normal human interaction and it shows. His characters are idealized cardboard cutouts that add nor detract anything from their respective parts in this story and the plot is just as banal. It moves at a snails pace and is told with the narration tone of a convicted serial killer. The lead is unlikeable jackass, the love interest is based of and infamous ex girlfriend of the author and Bella Swan without question, and there is even a character that at first I thought was the only well written character as he seemed like just an innocent autistic kid but it turned out it was just a cruel joke about the mentally disadvantaged. Screw this author for being a stereoptyping ass, his book is utter garbage. I would give this zero stars if I could, but we'll just have to settle on 1 out of 5.
