Book Review: Ravens

I keep thinking of blog posts, and then I forget to write them.  Oh well.  Here is a review for you.

RavensRavens by George Dawes Green
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
At first, I was very frustrated with the family in this book.  I hated that they were so submissive, and that they wouldn’t fight.  I know that my family would fight.  We wouldn’t put my siblings in danger, but I don’t think my mom and dad and brother and sister would have put up with Shaw and Romeo.  I put this book down once, and wasn’t sure I would pick it back up.  It was enjoyable to read, but the family’s predicament was draining me.  The writing was good.  The syntax “Said Tara” threw me a little.  But, otherwise, I thought it was good.  I also liked the characters.  The power that Shaw had over people was insane.  He could talk everyone into loving him; I also wondered if Shaw was right at times.  He even convinced me! That was a thrilling part about this novel.  The other factor of this novel was the money. At one point, I even asked myself if I was greedy because I wanted the family to get it all.  It is an interesting discussion topic.  I think most people would find this novel enthralling
