Sci-fi is not one of my “go to” genres, still enjoy it every now and then. The action and energy of this book is outstanding. Now let me tell you this one completely blew my socks off. The book immediately sucks you in, starts off with a bang. I refused to read reviews or see ratings, and didn’t read the synopsis, I went in totally blind. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!! Ingenious and imaginative. I could see the entire book play out like a movie. It was fantastic. I could feel the characters frustration, their heartbreak and struggle. I can’t wait for this to be a mini series or a movie, something I can visually see. I’m soooo excited about this book. Remember that feeling of awe you get when you see or taste something for the first time? Yup, this book evokes that same awestruck!! (I’m casting Clive Owen as Barry, just saying. Lol)

I cried plenty, laughed lots, gasped at times, and sobbed on numerous occasions. A very emotional book, full of endearing (and some loathsome) characters and incidents. Fantastic writing, clever story telling, the sequence of events combined with fiction and factual were sublime. My favored aspect of this book was how the story lines were scattered here and there but eventually they all came to fruition. Best of 2017, in my top 10 favorite for the year....more

I officially love this author!! Everything came to a full circle. The author taps into very strong subjects but he manages to be subtle and refined, without having to be crude or detailed to get the message across. I loved his latest work, Redemption Road, and in my opinion this book superseded that one and it was a five star read as well. ...more
