Rosemary, this is Bud. I loved this story, just loved it. It is your finest writing. You’ve created another addictive page turner. I couldn’t stop reading. I found myself in the mind of the heroine from the time she first fell in love through the entire emotional journey she traveled. My emotions flew wildly as I read Second Segment. Its characters took me from rolling on the floor laughing to chills of horror and everywhere between those extremes. I felt Sheila’s disgust and passions during her search for love, and I shared the helpless feeling of the dependant manipulated spirit living within her. Her story immersed me in its revealing discoveries.
This novel is the brain candy that ties all your other ones together. Your analogy of dragonflies’ life cycle and their second appearance to Sheila’s quest was brilliantly done.
Were Marvin and Marilyn the spirit caterpillars that metamorphosed into David and Marty, those two naughty butterflies? Why did the spirit woman feel Sheila needed to know the perfect murder methods of the bad butterflies? What made Sheila’s spirit suspect Bud could speak? How will we mortals use U’s secret equations? What might Sheila say that will be persuasive enough to save us? These are questions of discovery and wonder that cause the reader to ponder.
And how will each reader answer the ultimate question: Are you living your first life or your second?
I did not k like this book. It is one I won on Goodreads. I did not like the storyline and don't really like science fiction story lines I think you would have to read this author's other books to understand this book There is a love story in the book and some interesting characters. Like I said I didn't really delve into the book as thoroughly as I do
other books I like. Not a book I would see on the shelf and pick out to read. Thank you.
I think perhaps you need to read the previous books to get the book. I am not a big fan of the Science Fiction genre but tried to read and understand the story.
not really my cup of tea. I felt the book dragged and there was way to many characters to keep straight. With that many characters the development suffered.
