I purchased the kindle version of Books 1-3(Alone, Untouched and Soulless) of the Girl in the Box series and read them straight through. Robert Crane is a skillful writer who is a great storyteller. At first it was the dialogue that captured me and then I got into the story. This is a young adult series and I’m not a young adult, but the stories had characters I truly enjoyed being around and watching what happened next. Mr. James should be picked up by a big publishing house—if that’s what he wants—and he will make it to the top.I would encourage anyone wanting to be skillfully entertained to read his series of books. I don’t understand his pricing—the first three books are free. The editing, story line and skill deserved to be paid for. Well done.I give these three books 4.5 stars for only one reason. The author wrote these books in first person and did an excellent job, except in places he shifted the first person to someone else putting a bit of confusion in his writing. When I read in first person I expect the story to stay with one person’s point of view. Switching point of view in first person shows a lack of skill in presenting a story. I would like to add that Robert J. Crane has all the skills necessary to be a great writer. I will be reading all of his works.
