Anathema

Summary: For a previously none sci-fi reader, a very enjoyable book
Review: I reconnected with the author of this book at a class reunion and planned to read her book as a matter of interest in and politeness to a fellow classmate. To my great surprise and delight, I could hardly put it down. Everynight, my "put me to sleep" reading became, "I'm having a hard time stopping the page turning". I found myself truly liking the main characters and getting a real vicarious thrill from some of the town low lifes getting their deserved come-uppence from a distinctly nasty piece of work called "the spawn". The pacing is brisk, the emotional content moving, and the characters well representative of a small southern town. In short, I think you will find this book fun, exciting and worth your while.
