I totally missed Buy-A-Friend-A-Book Week, which is so fun to do. We have moved our computers off the dining room table down to the finished family room. That's reason to cheer, right? I'm still not sure. I liked the closeness of everything when we were living on one floor.Anyway, our internet and email have not worked well downstairs. Today the phone man came and fixed us up. Yay! So I can finally host that book giveaway.
I received this book to read and review and now I'm going to offer it to you. Let me share with you the blurb from the front book flap.
The ice caps are melting. forest burning. People starving...To be honest, I didn't finish the book. I don't know if it was a timing thing or just what, but I found I just wasn't in the mood for it. The beginning of the book was a bit confusing - I had to go back and reread to figure out if the story was continuing with the same character that just died. I did like this passage:
The world is dying. Right now.
What if a stranger appeared on the streets of New York claiming to possess the power to hear: And what if people believed him?
What if he spoke of ending poverty and disease, of bring peace and prosperity to the entire world? And what if People followed him?
What if the government feared the delusions he was spreading, feared for the people, the country? And what if they were right to fear him?
What if both sides saw themselves as the good battling the evil, how far would they go to see good triumph?
"... was this how it ended? The world simply spun on as if nothing had changed, while you faded away like a misplaced pencil mark being erased."As you can see, the writing is great. I look forward to more novels from Lee. He definitely has talent. I
received this book from the author and would like to pass it along to another who wants to read and review it. Chances are high, that most of you will probably really enjoy What if...?
To win this book, just leave a comment. I will draw the winning name on Thursday, Oct 16.
