A review by athira
Shining City by Seth Greenland
2.0
I won this book at the First Reads give-away and got started with it right after receiving it. I liked how the book started, it was quite gripping. I particularly liked that the main character, Marcus was a nice guy, but made decisions based on his survival instinct, rather than to "do the right thing". It feels good to read a book about some one normal, who is not driven by altruism or love for others, but just by his instinct to survive and do what he can to avoid a bad name, as most of us would do.
Occasionally I felt the book slowing down, especially when the author attempted to describe some memories from the past. I liked the way it ended, though it felt more coincidental. But being fiction, anything can happen.
This is the first book I am reading by [a:Seth Greenland|153293|Seth Greenland|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]. I would definitely try out his other book, [b:The Bones A Novel|729755|The Bones A Novel|Seth Greenland|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1177736529s/729755.jpg|254199], sometime.
