In every Creative Writing class I've ever taken the professor always says that a good writer is defined by the books they have read. The more you indulge in, the greater of an artist you can be. This is certainly the case with Jason Akley.  Lazrus is an amazing Greek tale, only all the drama and tragedy have been moved to the South, which makes the tale form into an exciting modern story. You will catch references to so many novelist and philosophers that you might find yourself anticipating who will be mentioned next. It's a definite read for anyone looking for a challenge, so don't give up on it mid way through. Although it is quite lengthy, you will feel incredible when you read the last line in the novel. I really enjoyed the family tree in the back too. It's great when authors go that extra mile to help make readers understand the story a little bit more.
