When I read the description of the book, I was intrigued by the
premise -
You are diagnosed with a brain tumor and only have 6 weeks to
live. How would you choose to spend your
last hours, days, weeks?
Before I began the book, I mused how I would spend the remainder
of my time here on earth. I would choose
to spend my time with family and close friends.
I cannot change my past, but I can speak life and love to those around
me.
In Captured by Neil
Cross, Kenny Drummond is informed by the doctors that he has six weeks to
live. As he processes the news, he makes
a list of people he either wants to thank for helping him in the past or those
he wishes to ask forgiveness from for past misdeeds.
What begins as a positive use of his remaining time turns into a
downward spiral into all that is evil when he begins searching for a childhood
friend, Callie. In all the different directions the mystery surrounding the
disappearance of his childhood friend could take, this one had never crossed my
mind.
Although I did not fully enjoy the storyline, Neil Cross' skill
with the pen shines through. His skill
with the written word draws the reader into the story and allows them to feel
the emotions as Kenny lives out his last days.
Add in some unexpected plot lines and you have an intriguing storyline.
My ratings:
2 out of 4 stars for my enjoyment
3.5 out of 4 stars for Neil’s writing style
I received a complimentary e-copy of Captured by Neil Cross from NetGalley and Open Road Integrated Media for
my honest review.
Blessings,
Ellen
