4.0

The Work captured me from the first page and I was compelled to the very end. Using different forms of internet communication (blogs, emails, videos, Facebook comment threads) to mark the passage of time, I very much enjoyed watching Rebecca commit to The Work, find meaning and purpose, but also slowly question and struggle with her belief in it and in Marlin.

I appreciated the way Meindl's approach to The Work left a lot of grey area. Is it a cult? Is it a bunch of passionate people finding true meaning? Is it only a cult if you give yourself over to the leader completely?

Easy to read, well developed characters easy to empathize with - really enjoyed my first book from Maria Meindl and Stonehouse Publishing!
