Smashwords book reviews by PalinaD

Dire Means on Oct. 08, 2011

Downloaded this book a while back and only recently discovered that it was a great find. I got the Kindle version and finished it in about 4 days. It contains great descriptions and narrative throughout a very original story that accelerates as you go along with a good deal of tension woven in. There’s a satisfying technical side to this book, with use of phones, cameras, GPS all without isolating readers who are not tech savvy. I will say that after chapter 2, I've decided that I’ll never ride a freight elevator again! Good character development and several nice twists too. The story also presents a social message about the impoverished that will make you think and really sticks with you after you finish. I’m recommending Dire Means to friends and bookmarking Neil’s page because I’m now anxious to see his next work.
