Review: Mixed feelings (I don't want it to end!)
Rating: 5 out of 5

Every once in a while I come across an author whose work I enjoy so much, I get lost in his or her world; I eagerly turn the pages, thirsty for the next line but at the same time I do not want to get to the end.Such is Shane's talent that I have read all his other books : "Plaza", "Fast", and "After".(In the spirit of full disclosure, I got "Melt" as an advanced reader's copy from Shane himself.)Without giving much away, this is it the story of several people who are kidnapped and find themselves in an enclosure of some sort. All are seemingly strangers to each other and there appears to be a common thread. I can however, without a shadow of a doubt, state that I care for each character; I want to know more about them (even the ones that are simply despicable!), their past, their state of mind, even what they think about each other.Though I am very close to the end of the story, I am not quite ready for the conclusion because I am enthralled by the story and the pace of the narrative.Warning: if you read this book while on a bus or train, be careful because you might just miss your stop as it happened to me a couple of times.
