Trust

I initially began reading Trust as a serial, with each chapter being released one per week. I got a bit more than 4/5th of the way through when I simply became too busy to read a serial (yet books were no problem - lack of a connection to the Internet was the main issue).

I finally purchased the book, months after reading my last chapter while I was still part of the collective group reading the serial. Once the book was finished I believe that all the chapters were removed from the website, prompting me to buy the book, because even after months had passed since I read that posted chapter I was still invested enough in the characters to want to know how the story would be resolved.

Though the ending came as little to no surprise to me, I show more am still very glad that I got the book and satisfied my curiosity as encouraged by Mr. Moody. Plus, I can go back and reread the book in one sitting now, just to see if reading it all in a piece alters my perception of the book, as opposed to how I felt about the book when reading it as a serial.

This is without a doubt not meant for action junkies. If you are expecting large, brutal scenes of violence betweens the aliens and the humans, this book is not for you. There is a small amount of physical violence, however the very lack of it elsewhere increases the potency of the few (two?) scenes containing any substantial violence. I truly enjoyed reading this book and will be sure to grab some of Mr. Moody's other works down the line.

First Entry:
(I am currently reading this as a serial release on the author's site (assuming I can last at this pace and not break down and buy the book for that instant gratification - which looks more and more likely!).) show less
