Review: Walking Into A Death Trap
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 01 5, 2014
My top three quotes from this book: 1. "We're walking into a death trap...willingly." 2. "Everything will be fine if we just let them be." 3. "I want to know what I am."The plot of this book is "Monster". There is a monster that must be dealt with. And NO, it is not a black widow, and it definitely has nothing to do with a willow. This is the kind of story Franz Kafka would write. It makes sense to create monsters with powers and abilities that defy our human senses to comprehend the monster, or better said, the monstrosity. The book can therefore best be understood by letting go of one's sense of reality, and entering ino the new world created by Author Evan Bollinger.If we do not defy our reality, then to read this book is like walking inot a death trap...willingly. Metaphorically speaking, you won't like what happens to you (you don't understand the book). Alternatively, you can walk away from this book, "just let it be." Do that, and everything will be fine. Option three is to read this book. Read this book, and you will know "who you are."The book is well-written. It makes use of the pictures we create in our minds as we read, and also of our prior experience and knowledge of monster stories. It is impossible to read this story in the same way as another reader. Your reading experience and enjoyment will be your very own, shared with no other reader(s), although each of us read the same book. Highly recommended.Reviewed by Thomas Jerome BakerAuthor ofBoudicca: Warrior Queen
