Review: Awesomely, uncomfortably real

When you read a book and get a real hate on for a character, then the author has done the job right. When you read a book that makes you really uncomfortable because you recognize yourself or you friends in the pages, then the author had done the job right.Ms. Roberts has created a story where the characters react like real people, get into situations that are stupid, risky, and real to life. I have to commend you, Ms. Vera, on creating a novel that has some meat to it and is not a namby pamby 'I love you, you love me, lets rumble'. This book is real, and even though I didn't like Eli, and had a few issues with Faith, the fact that I'm even saying that is a kudo to you for having written characters so real I actually have feelings for them!
