REVIEW
Have
you ever thought you would find the sciences of biology, chemistry, physics and
geology personified? No? Try this book for size.
A
young adult paranormal romance with a refreshing difference. No vampires,
werewolves or fairies for Holly Scruggs and her friends. Apart from it being an
exhilarating tale full of excitement, suspense and a dash of humor, it also
delicately deals with sensitive social issues faced by young people on a daily
basis. Finding one's niche; and becoming what one is meant to become, are key
points in the story.
“The
Earth Painter” is not only a great book to relax with, but also implores the
reader to deliberate on the issues addressed. Through superb writing, the
author manages to invoke sympathy from the reader for the more unsavory
characters, who in the end are also only products of their circumstances.
Melissa Turner Lee displays amazing and highly
imaginative creativity with this very unique theme and well thought-out plot.
The characters are so down-to-earth and realistic, you feel as though you’ve
made new friends by the time you’ve finished the last chapter. The vivid portrayal
of real life events, as well as the fantasy world in this book, brings the
story and the background against which it is set, to life.
I
would highly recommend “The Earth Painter” by this promising author, to all who
enjoy a good story with a healthy touch of romance and a whole lot of depth.
