Review: Tempting Fate
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 28, 2013
This is a quick, hard hitting story of Tom and Will. Tom is determined to walk "High Bridge" in an effort to challenge fate and purge his soul of the past. What the past holds, we're never told. I'm sure that's in another installment. "High Bridge" is a RR bridge with no walkway and trains every thirty to forty minutes. Adults know better, kids, well, we were all young and reckless at one time.The imagery Mr. Woodard paints is very realistic and scary. I for one am scared to death of heights and this work reaffirmed my phobia.The pictures at the end of the story are an added bonus.There are a few punctuation issues, but nothing to worry about.I usually don't get excited when a book has the preview for another work, but in this case, the introduction for  "Stairway to Danger" is well timed. It will have many wanting to continue the series.Good YA book for boys. Reminds me of the "Hardy Boy" series. Well done.Solid Four.
