Literary Editorial Review
“A Hell Called Ohio” is a debut novel by Josh Smith. The book is a slow-moving, gritty, and introspective story of Warrell Swanson, a blue-collar worker's life over a few dramatic months. It is a story that follows the simple life of Warrell Swanson, an immature male, as he navigates the minefield that is love in his 20s, new work responsibilities and conflicting loves. The novel covers a short period in Warrell’s life, and he does not experience some earth-shattering arc that changes his life. Despite that, the book is a page-turner, with the pleasure of Warrell being his honesty. The description of the settings, characters, interactions, and emotions are sparse but honest, connecting with the reader's heart. However, the book's deliberate pace and lack of plot may bore some readers hoping for a story that moves quicker with more action or drama. The book has multiple messages about finding self-worth, standing true to oneself, and doing the right thing for the greater good. The book shows restraint; the author could have made Warrell a real jerk, but instead, it is a solid depiction of working-class people. The book receives mixed reviews, with some readers feeling an opportunity to describe the setting better was missed, and it left one reader feeling odd and unfinished.
