Book Reviews of Alive in Necropolis
Book Review: (three and a half stars) A nice debut
Summary: 3 Stars
"Alive in Necropolis" combines a small town story of relationships with the supernatural and, I believe, does so fairly effectively. The story flows nicely and keeps our interest even though it does get somewhat strange. I definitely think Doug Dorst has potential to be one of the better modern novelists assuming he keeps on writing. Too often, though, I've seen an author write an off-beat first novel like this one and then sort of disappear from the scene. Dorst can obviously tackle several different genres, so I would be disappointed if we don't hear from him again. In fact, it would be nice if someday Dorst writes a sequel to "Necropolis" with the same principle character, whom I found intriguing.
