The Smith: Adventures in Town Building Part I Threefords
A complete rewrite and expansion of the original Adventures in Town Building.
Part I Threefords follows Chet from a very young age, just starting to grow up in his hometown. He deals with monster attacks and learns the use of the weapons needed to defend against them. When someone close to him is injured, he learns he has healing power. He begins to build a business empire despite being very young. Chet’s primary focus slowly turns toward land.
Despite possibly becoming the wealthiest person in town and suffering a personal tragedy, Chet’s life focus shifts toward his lifelong passion of learning the trade of becoming a blacksmith. When he finally is accepted into the position of being an apprentice smith, he starts learning about his true lifelong passion, which is girls. He goes through finding a long series of girlfriends until a girlfriend finds him.
All the while, Chet’s fertile mind is developing inventions, some completely on his own and some with information from others.

Reads like a kid's report of their summer vacation
Sorry, but this reads more like a set of instructions and less like a novel. I put up with it for a few pages, thinking the writing style would improve, but it didn't. The start of any story is where the author needs to grab the readers attention and this didn't do that for me.

different in several respects
Well written, excellent grammar and vocabulary.
Characters are thin but entertaining, the main character a little overblown in places, but overall worth reading the next book to “ find out what happened next!”

Entertaining
Decent story but way too busy. Short on true character development. So much crammed into a promising story so quickly it hinders the enjoyment.
