Book Review

The Ride of a Lifetime
By Kitty McGregor

This work of fiction was an interesting tale. It was rather awkwardly written and could have used more of a critical eye in editing before publication, but those things aside, the story is a well thought out one. I appreciate how the author did not leave the tough scenes to our imagination, like many authors would be tempted to in situations like this. There are things that humans have not experienced, and I have noticed that if an author is afraid to imagine it or unable to find words to explain it or describe it, then the author will skip a scene that he or she had been working up to. Kitty McGregor is not an author like that. She works up to a frightening climax and then faithfully follows through in describing and explaining it in a way that is full of imagination and that I can only assume, accurately summarizes the way she sees and understands things to be. I believe that if she were to put this novel that reads a bit like a rough draft into the hands of a skilled editor and follow that editor’s advice, she would have a very good novel on her hands that would sell well in Christian bookstores everywhere. She is a brave author. I received a free e-copy of this novel in exchange for an honest review.
