Taken for Granted
The narrative of Ethan dangerous and intriguing quest to find and release his kidnapped mother is make for good reading. Captivating the journey which borders on an investigation see Ethan and his young friends encountering gangster and human traffickers. I would rate this thriller, by Kelley Griffin 4 big star.
The book is truly a good and fascinated read and though it was not a read in one go , my heart was satisfy as I procced along the journey. The author’s choice of words show an investigative cunningness and an eye for indebt strategy. The book held my attention and I wondered what next captivating move await over leaf. At first the gangsters did not appear to be too evil and I realizes the author was not in the business of excess gore, blood and evil. The pages manages to exhibit the right mix of love and relationship in the narrative. There was no dramatic love scenes to the stage of becoming overbearing, and yet one could not say love and relationship was lacking in the book.
I did not find that the author used too much gang related language, and a young reader just breaking in the thriller sphere, would not find the book overburden. The deep critic might be tempted to argue that investigation was not indebt enough but for those I suspect the writer is no detective or did not see it necessary to be too police like in the narrative. I discern that the writer did not set out to scare away the young readers and those who love this genre which are her ultimate targeted audience. However, the right blend come shining through.
I found her use of words thrilling, and her ability to find the right words to best describes what is happening at the time is truly a stroke of genius. Secondly the author’s ability to find a word, a police exclusive base word for a sometime elusive and intrusive genre is indeed delightful. This book is truly a delightful bait to the genre.
This book is for general audience, and it is not x rated which sometime led to the pathway of dislike for thrillers and suspense. I expect the majority of readers who love a good book especially of this genre will be willing to jump a fence, or sleep in a line with rowdy teenagers out in the cold just to get their copy and I would certainly urge them on. After all one does not write for all, a good author seeks out a constituency and write the best for them. Those are the authors that stand out and gets 5 stars in my list.
