When I first began to read The Trial of Poppy Moon by John Corder, I was a little put off by the quick introduction of an unlikely plot and so many characters. But, with a little patience, Mr. Corner was so adept at pulling them all together that you never had to look back to see who was whom. I hate that when reading a book because it tells me the character was not described well enough for them to be retained without having to remind myself. No problem in the Trial of Poppy Moon. This book is an example of both great characterization and plot development.This book contains good guys and bad guys that goes all the way from beginning to end. Poppy Moon has had an OBE (Out of Body Experience) which then leads naturally to NDE (Near Death Experience). Not subjects in themselves good enough to carry a 441 page book. But, she had it during an operation on her own body during which both her kidneys were removed. Unfortunately for the bad guys, she returns to life, experiencing tremendous pain, during that same operation and remembers everything. This is a plot I found both unsettling and fascinating.From that inspiring story line and the introduction of a strong and compelling character, you begin to learn that her lawyer, Marcus, was like a gift from God to Poppy. Then, Mr. Corder started slinging good guys and bad guys at you from every direction. I loved it and it was very well done and on point.That's all the story line you are going to get from me. Don't let the subject matter dissuade you. This is an incredibly interesting, well developed, well written and interesting book. I have to admit, I was so determined not to miss anything that I took six pages of notes and read up to 100 pages at every sitting.Carol PinerThe Kindle Book Review"The Kindle Book Review received a free copy of this book for an independent, fair, and honest review.
