Book Reviews of Dry Water
Book Review: A Book that Challenges the Imagination
Summary: 4 Stars
With only a five dollar bill in my pocket, I found myself wandering through a bookstore in downtown Salt Lake City one day, trying to find a cheap book to read. I stumbled upon Dry Water. It was on sale for a special $3.99 price. I bought it, and took it home. I knew nothing of the book, except for the fact that it had a bland cover. However, after reading it, I can say this about it: It is an awesome book. I have read a lot of books, but never one that challenges the reader to use his imagination the way this title did. The characters were incredibly detailed, and easy to understand. Larry Ngitis is an every day Joe that turns into something much more magical, Raja Anumati is a witch with a fairy heart, Judzyas is a necromancer with a hidden agenda, and Matt Carlson is ... hilarious. I loved the plot to this book. It keeps you thinking about alternate possibilities while reading. I also liked the way Nylund wrote the ending to this book; I have often said that the end of a book is the most critical part of a story. In fact, I only have one real complaint about this book: It gets very deep at times. People without a very active imagination would have a hard time reading this story. Overall, I had to give this book four stars. The only reason I did not give it a full five was because of occasional misspellings (which irritate me), and the fact that the story was difficult to read at times. Dry Water is an outstanding title, and Eric S. Nylund is a brilliant author. I will definitely be reading more of his stories.
