Magnolia Operation is a great, getaway-type of read. It takes you around the world to countries not so often visited in novels, from South American deserts to snowy woods in Scandinavia and explores both the sharp sides of the double-edged sword that is globalization. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys light fiction with compelling characters and carefully planned plot twists.

This took a little longer to read than some of the books I have gone through this year. I found myself getting sidetracked and reading other books instead. In the end the book was well done with a lot of tension and twists. I know people who write some reviews love to put details but suffice it to say this storyline is solid enough to get your interest and had me refreshing genetic theory and getting immersed in the characters.
Alvin spins the book well and there are only a few awkward language areas that fall in place considering the locales of the story. In the end I wanted more and expect to see some characters in the future.

My friend Alvin’s second book reveals how people with varying backgrounds coming from very different sides of the world can unite for the common good, embark on a breath-taking adventure across the globe and fall in love.
Although the plot circulates around drug trafficking and is spiced with cold-blooded criminals, it makes a heart-warming and sort of a starry-eyed read — a perfect escape for this gruesome spring where war has entered European gates again.
Knowing the author, I expected an adventure filled with colourful characters. Even if he writes that the accomplishments of the two Finnish sisters starring in the plot require tons of “sisu”, which is Finnish for wit, stamina and resilience against repression, their characters remain a little distant.
I hope to see the intriguing and brilliant plot come alive as a movie taking us from the heart of Europe via the Scandinavian winter to the Peruvian Highlands!
