Title: LocalView by JD
Review: A good read !West-coasters around the world will see a piece of their town somewhere in this very readable, well crafted novel.The characters, with notable exceptions, come alive with a few sentences. Donna McMahon makes character development appear effortless, no simple task in itself. She avoids sterotypes and plot formulas like the plague, no pun intended. Yes, you could say,"No stereotypes were harmed by the making of this book".The mix of easily recognizing the feeling of the characters first, then realistic dialogue, and then... detailed descriptions of a shattered environment (that many living on geological fault lines can uncomfortably imagine), works well.Once you turn the pages, you'll be in a not-so-impossible-after-all future, reminiscent of too many places and lives that have been destroyed and forgotten in our own world.Blade is a warrior that scares the hell out of me! If he doesn't scare you, I'm moving out of your neighbourhood! ;=)
