Jesus’ Son Book Review Jesus’ Son is a novel written by Denis Johnson. The genre is Fiction. It is 133 pages long and is about 14 dollars. This novel was published in 1992. This book is a novel full of different short stories that make up the chapters. The narrator is an unknown drug user that is just shifting us through different incidents that he has either witnessed or been a part of. There is no exact theme, in my opinion.

own way, self expression. Writing shows what mood you’re in when you write a letter, if it’s rough and tense then you can tell it was written out of anger. If it’s neat and organized there was obviously a gentle mood and the rest depends on the context of the letter. A typed letter will never provide the sense of formal effort or commitment to whatever was written down and shows carelessness. Another thing to take note of is that a computer isn’t always around to keep notes, and lacking writing…

Tap tap tap. I rolled over and glanced at the alarm clock. Its bold digital face read… 4:36. I had been tossing and turning all night, I guess it was my own fault for reading horror stories before bed. I flipped the pillow over and tried to go back to sleep. Tap tap tap.
