Wildside

The characters really came to life over the the arc of the story.

Somewhat thematically similar to Stephen King's 1963. Both are compelling in their own ways.

The scenes of the new world are powerful

The growing maturity of the relationships between everyone was moving.

This book jumps around alot, and occassionally doesnt make logical sense. It seems like certain details were edited out, or something was missin at times. That said, I got pulled in and eventually really took to this outing. I recommend it, notwithstanding the issues noted.

I had read this book when it first hit the library and enjoyed it. I had forgot about it over the years and this was read well enough it like reading a new book!

When the secret is revealed to Charlie's friends.

The man made each character come alive. That is hard to do for more than four characters.

Yes, I did listen to it in one sitting!

Well worth the time and money!

I liked the basic premise of the story

It was a bit hard to belief.

I liked the scenes describing the "wild side."

There just seemed to be so many parts of this story that were flat. I won't spoil things for readers, but given the scenario, I would have SOOOOOOO many questions to ask. Perhaps because we are dealing with teenagers they are more concerned with little things than asking big questions.

Step into another world rich with resources like for instance, gold? Stuff that you can sell in this world for lots of money? And then suppose you told your very best friends about it so they could help you haul it back to this world and share in the wealth? This is a great story with action and suspense but not what you’re thinking given the cover art. Now I did have a little trouble swallowing teens randomly knowing that much about legal issues and it’s a bit heavy with the avionics and mechanics but those issues are minor and hey if your into those things, bonus for you. The take away is the story is really good and will hold your attention. Good job with the narration as well.
