Customer Reviews

M.E. Kerr, always amazing

I was a big fan of Kerr's "Fell" series when I was a junior high-schooler, but since I've supposedly "grown up" I haven't read any books by her lately. But here I am, 23 and reading _Linger_. What a wonderfully complex and engrossing book. Every character is compelling and wonderfully sketched , and while the premise of the story might seem a bit corny at first glance, the telling is nearly flawless. M.E. Kerr tells it like it is, and writes (seemingly effortlessly--it seems so unforced) about those things that many authors just can't make good and real. Politics, sex, intrigue--all here and the mix makes it fun for readers of any age.
