Elijah Meeks

I won this via goodreads giveaways and was sent the review copy by the author. This light novella is a fun escape though I found it ended a bit too quickly for my speedreading taste. As other reviewers have noted it offers hints of tried and true stories and I found that when combined they melded pretty well. However, I felt frustrated and let down by the writing at the end and will hopefully soon reread in an attempt to sort out why. Overall I found this a nice first novel and I look forward to seeing future work from Meeks. Four stars for keeping me up to finish even if the last few pages had me wrinkling my nose. (title read & reviewed in February 2010).… (altro)
