A great escape!
Sonya joins our writers at Traversing Guest Station from a neighborhood close
to Chicago, Illinois. Like many young suburbanites, Sonya finds little time
to spend reading. However, when she gets a book that keeps her interest to
the end, she finds the experience seems as real as life around her. Sonya
enjoys reading fiction that has a bit of excitement, although she doesn't
stay with one genre. “I liked The
Di Vinci Code, but haven't read Dan Brown's latest, The
Lost Symbol”, she says. “I like vampire stories, suspense
and crime novels to name a few.” Another book Sonya read recently came
to the big screen--The Lovely
Bones. Sonya is waiting on another Anne Rice book to come in at the
library--Cry
to Heaven
Angel
Time: The Songs of the Seraphim
Book review by Sonya
I enjoyed reading this novel. I really liked how Anne Rice described the scenery
and set up the chapters. This book was based on an assassin named Toby O'Dare.
He also has many aliases--one was "Lucky the Fox". He took orders
from his boss, “The Right Man". Toby was a ruthless, cold-hearted
killer due to certain events that happened when he was a kid. He never cared
if he would die on his missions; he was a lost soul. He killed to get back
at God for the things he lost. This novel opens in the present and as the
book goes, a mysterious stranger visits to offer him a chance to save lives
and save himself, instead of destroying lives. Toby O'Dare longed to become
a priest as a kid, and he seized the chance to do good in his life rather
than have danger and violence surrounding him. Toby O'Dare goes on a quest
of salvation to the thirteenth century through loyalty and betrayal and love
and hope. I recommend this book for all--young adults through elderly adults.
This novel had many good quotes and messages in it. I don't read too many
books because I'm a busy person, but I would read this book over and over
again. Perhaps it gave me more faith in God.
