Review: Good Characterization

The author is adept at describing scenes and conversations, so that you feel you are actually there. The writing is often powerful and original. The plot is rather convoluted, and the parents don't seem to do much grieving for the child they lost. The police don't seem to look too hard for the family members who fled from them. There are a few errors, such as using the word 'then' for 'than' and 'you're' for 'your'; the word libel for liable. Overall, the writing is strong, though. I would like to have to have seen the parents also deal with a revelation made by their son. I received a complimentary copy of the book in exchange for my review.
