Summary: Nancy Drew in Outer Space -- Skip It
Review: A longtime Sci-Fi fan, I'm always on the lookout for new authors to add to my collection and was happy to see this new female voice. Then I read "Home." The basic premise has promise but the execution is strictly hack work. I had to wonder if the book misclassified and was intended for the Young Adult audience. Even pre-teens deserve better than this.

"Home" is a bizarre hybrid of the Nancy Drew novels and the Harlequin Romance series. The characters are one dimensional, at best, and their actions are so random they defy belief. The writing is often cringe-worthy. Where was the editor for this book? Was there an editor? The book reads like the output from a vanity press.

If you are a Sci-Fi fan, skip this book. If you are a Harlequin Romance fan and you receive this book for free, it might be worth your time.

Review: I would have to comment that Kimberly Fuller, a promising young author, has gifted the world witha new and stunning piece of literature for the Science Fiction readers of today. In "Home" the plot is captivating and keeps you on the edge of your seat wanting to know what happens next. I found myself reading into the night to finish this wonderful book. I would highly recommend this book to those who enjoy an exciting adventure of other worlds and times.

Summary: Author dies at age 25
Review: This book was written by the recipient of the 1st successful heart-lung transplant at the University of Pittsburgh. She was 9 at the time of her original surgery. Despite additional lung transplants and a complicated health history, she managed to graduate from College and write this book. Its style suffers from the fact that she was a late teenager when it was written. Sadly, she died today (April 9, 2001) at age 25.
