Others compare this to X-Men and Dan Brown but I say Zeth Ward can stand his own ground and one day people will be compared to him." - 4/5 Albert Robbins III, FreeBookReviews (14/10/11) # - Taken from official Amazon UK listing page figures for Technological Thrillers

Book Review: Peripheral by Zeth Ward
Overall Feedback: Overall this one gives the reader a great story for a fair price, but then again we are taking a chance right. Well chance taken will give you reward on this one. You will enjoy the plot twist and hide from the thrill ride. Others compare this to X-Men and Dan Brown but I say Zeth Ward can stand his own ground and one day people will be compared to him.

Point of View: This is where some might fall off the bus as the narrative jumps through many characters.

Voice: The author utilizes his voice to push you through even the hardest parts of the novel to reach the momentum you need to finish.

Character Development: For the most part the characters are developed rather well and become multidimensional but there are later comers.

Plot: Because of the bouncing narrative you may be thrown off but do not despair as you can and will make it and the finish is worth the drudgery.

Dialogue: This is where the characters shine and really draw the story together.

Pacing: Where it not for the pacing of this one you may put it down before half way.

Setting: Perfection

Continuity: This is where the bouncing narrative actually helps. I love when stories take you from character to character and surprise you with the ending. And Zeth does just that. Thanks and can I have another?

Score 4/5
