This one jumped out at me for the title alone (I have a habit of skimming blurbs to the point I&#8217;m often surprised at what the plot actually turns out to be). A few pages in, I knew this book would cement Mr. Krever&#8217;s place on my (in this case, virtual) bookshelf.<\/div>\n<p>\nHis writing is very natural, loose and easy, yet deep and thoughtful. I can tell he&#8217;s a man who has experienced life and not just lived it. The evidence is there in his prose.<\/p>\n<p>I should caution the most prudish of people there is a fair amount of sexual material in the book, but it&#8217;s nothing explicit. Considering the backdrop of the story, it could have easily become that. Instead, Mr. Krever serves up an engaging character study. It&#8217;s a tale of a man who&#8217;s lost, looking for his way, and a girl who knows she is destined for great things and is determined to achieve it at all costs.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a great read&#8211;enough to tear me away from my own edits for a time&#8211;and I look forward to Mr. Krever&#8217;s next book.<\/p>\n<p>S.L.
