A Call to Mind

SFREADER.COM Reviewed by Paul Goat Allen. Editor of Barnes & Noble's Explorations science fiction/fantasy book review and is the author of Burning Sticks, Old Winding Way and Warlock Dreams.A Call to Mind- The clever, tightly woven plot and competent use of dialogue power the story along to its (albeit predictable) conclusion. And while the medical and ethical aspects of the plot are the primary focus throughout, Cherry does a proficient job of threading the volatile relationship between Jessie and Chris into the story line. This realistic-and intensely interesting-relationship hooks the reader on an emotional level and, together with the primary plot line, makes for a fast-paced and surprisingly entertaining read.
