New We get to know those involved in the accidentally before the event so it's outcome becomes the next or final step in their lives. Certainly automobiles and driving is safer now than it was then. Human error remains a central factor even when there is a mechanical failure like a blown tire. The reader is led into various degrees of sympathy and in a couple cases dislike. It becomes a story to the reader gets involved and MacDonald accomplishes that well. Ever the consummate storyteller, JDM tells this story by having the reader meet some eight people before they crash together in a horrendous supercrash on a major highway. Each of the cars' occupants have their own story and he does this so well that we feel some empathy for all of them, and follow those living long enough to see how it changes their lives. Why MacDonald doesn't get more recognition from the public I'll never understand, but he truly is a writeer's writer, using techniques and phraseology his compatriots admire greatly. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A gunman on the lam. A sullen sixteen-year-old on a family vacation. A jaded working girl. A guilt-stricken widower. A lonely mistress looking for a fresh start. These are but a few of the unfortunate souls speeding down a brand-new stretch of highway when a Cadillac flips over the barrier into oncoming traffic and a violent sequence of events explodes at sixty miles an hour. For one horrifying instant, their lives are frozen in time. Some are cut short. But none will ever be the same. For what unfolds is an even more harrowing collision of passion, greed, and deceit.
