"This is a very impressive plot line. The reader will be immediately drawn in to the novel. What 14 year old boy goes into the wild by choice? The author highlights the issue at hand: bullying. He does it very tactfully and manages to sound diplomatic. The main character is a very intriguing young man who has many of the survival skills necessary to live in the wild with no supervision; in this day and age, that is incredibly impressive. The idea that a potential shooting incident was averted because the poor character being picked on and bullied chose self-exile is shocking to say the least-most people would not think that that was a solution. However, the author shows how therapeutic and healing the self-imposed exile is. The details of the main character's time in the wild will keep the reader interested throughout the novel. This book is recommended for young adults/adults who enjoy inspiring novels." This is the summary of her review of The Ruin by Kenneth Fenter posted by Krystal on the Blog Live To Read Monday night.
An excellent review appeared Monday night on The Live To Read Book Review Blog posted by Krystal. The link for the review is Live To Read: Kenneth Fenter Krystal went on to post an abbreviated review on Amazon. She has asked for a copy of The Bee Tree to review which I'm sending out today.
I recently became aware of the book blog community which is huge in the wide wide world, a diverse group of folk who love to read and put that love of literature together with their interest in sharing their thoughts on a genre, time period, or just want to share their reading with others.
I invite you to read her entire review on the Live To Read blog site. Follow the link above.
With my very best wishes,
