Green Girls : A Novel of Suspense

Rating:
Summary: Compelling!
Review: A friend who is a reviewer recommended "Green Girls" as a book that I might find interesting. I didn't think I would like it from reading the blurb, but I was wrong. This is a compelling read that held my attention throughout. The obsessive and quite mad July is a pretty unnerving character. I got a little tired of the protagonist making stupid mistakes, but he eventually tries to redeem himself. The Colombian shaman is a great character and Kimball did a great job with him. If you like books that are a little out there and not so "in the box" this is a good book for you.

Summary: page turner
Review: Couldn't put it down. This is definitely a book that is different from the norm, consistently suspenseful, and full of truly interesting characters. I enjoyed the writing, too - great flow and form. I'd highly recommend it.

Summary: Not everything can be above average.
Review: This is an okay read. The characters are of some intrerest but not particularly well developed or realistic. The plot would probably work better if it were more deftly handled. The writing is functional but in no way clever or inspiring. It just gets the job done. On the other hand, there are not a lot of typos or grammatical goofs to distract. So this is about an average novel, maybe toward the high end of average. If you just can't find anything better, give it a read.
