As I write this review, I only hours ago finished reading Thousand Leaves. The last 80% of it I read in one sitting, simply because I found myself unable to stop.
I will refrain from commenting on details of the plot altogether. The description posted on this site tells about all one can without spoiling some element of the story. What I will comment on is why I feel that Kevin Frane has made the telling of it so enchanting that it made me get off my lazy butt, register an account with this site and write a review about it.
When I first started reading this book, I did so with a very detached, pessimistic attitude. As usually happens with books I read, my attention was gradually drawn in, I began to become emotionally invested in the story and the characters. What I was not expecting was to be completely swept off my feet, and plunged into Reeve's world. You know a book is written well when you're no longer aware that you're reading words off a page. I was barely aware I was in my home at all. It was probably the most intense experience I have ever had reading a book.
I don't know what more I can say about this novel. I very highly recommend it, and I urge anybody reading to buy it.
But be warned. It may be just me, but you might just find yourself with more of a story than you bargained for.
Rating:  [5 of 5 Stars!] |
