Underground Book Reviews: Review & interview
Night of the Purple Moon has all the elements of a successful book. The pace is fast and enthralling, the characters are likable, hard-working and kind and the premise is killer. What child hasn’t fantasied about a world with no parents? I found myself wondering what would happen to my own children if suddenly this sort of thing were to occur. How would children survive without the adults that shepherd them? Cramer sets up his much tamer Lord of the Flies well, guiding us through each step of their new found independence so we can picture Abby’s world and wonder what might become of our own should a tragedy of this magnitude befall us.
Polliwog Blog….
The story started out slow as the kids go around figuring out what’s wrong and how to deal. As I got into the story I wanted to know more. I was interested in this phenomenon and if everyone would survive. Even though the story telling felt slow it had my curiosity. Honestly, I am interested in reading the next book in this series. I haven’t heard of it, but being how this one ended and that it’s labeled Toucan #1 I assume there will be another! There better be as this would be a bad way to end a story.
(There will be a book #2)
NOPM helps blogger cope with dentist
Reading Night of the Purple Moon by Scott Cramer – I barely ever accept review copies from self-published authors, but Scott Cramer’s polite e-mail and summary of his debut novel made me interested enough to tell him I’d take an e-book and try to get round to it in the following few months. A couple of days after that, I had a dentist’s appointment and started reading it on the Kindle app for my iPod while waiting. I raced through it so quickly that I lost all track of where I was (impressive, as I hate going to the dentist!)
