The
Sperling Chronicles, Dreams Thrown Away, is a high energy book with a lot
happening to this family, including tragedy, violence, and world-wide
celebrities. The heroine is the best thing about the book. Kali, although
mistreated and violated in many ways, always maintains her center. The reader
pulls for Kali to survive this dysfunctional family and the tragedy that
happens to her when her twins are born. And she does, for a while, marrying a
steady, well-grounded man, who unfortunately eventually treats her poorly.
Still, Kali is a larger than life heroine with whom the reader can identify,
and her struggles and successes make for an interesting read.
This
book has it all, the attractive heroine, and the larger than life
"hero" if Ashton can be called that, and all the necessary bit
players. It has the settings and the characters that make it an entertaining
book. Altogether, a book worth reading.
SPLIT
IMAGES, The Sperling Chronicles, is a fast paced book with interesting
characters and a fascinating on-going story. I particularly liked the plot idea
of the twin brothers, with one taking the other's place and the other (the real
Ashton) left for dead. He returns as Lazarus, raised from the dead. I particularly
liked the beginning, which told me this was going to be a fun read. "You
idiots, this thing's alive!. (Speaking of Ashton's almost dead body.) I also
appreciated the short chapters. I felt as though I were flying through the
book, with each chapter going by quickly with no unnecessary narrative to slow
the action.
On
the whole, it was a fun book. Congratulations.
Both books are available online at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Lulu, iBookstore, and most online retailers in eBook and Print format. For autographed copies, order from this site or Good Show Publications.
