HEATHEN - A Tribute to Life, Love and Freedom (Book) - 1/24/2009 10:56:45 AM
This book is part of a three-book trilogy (book two still being written) based on true modern events, but written in a Medieval setting. A first-time writer, Heath Whiteside shows strength in well-developed, consistent character description. The imagery used for settings helps the reader "get lost" in the moments of battle, despair, and triumph. Dialogues between characters and the inner musings of the main character, Zelian, are complete and compelling. The only criticisms I have is that much of that dialogue is not consistent with the era, using words such as "gotta" and "whatever" -- and there are grammatical errors coupled with typographical errors due to the fact that this book was not edited by the publisher (the storyline was THAT good). SpellCheck could have alleviated 80% of these errors. The causal reader will probably not notice 95% of the errors because they will be caught up in the story. Nevertheless, it is in fact a Good Read for anyone that enjoys Medieval literature and action-packed adventure with twists and turns of fate. I am looking forward to the sequels with anticipation. What did I learn from this book? "Never give up."
