Sherrida Woodley

The story line is an interesting one - can a supposedly extinct bird species provide a cure for a deadly flu? Told through three characters and their struggle to survive while presenting several philosophical questions.

The book struggles in continuity and transitions - better editing is needed to help with flow of story. The antagonist's sections tend to be the most distracting due to the choppy tangents but I think as a whole, this book is worth reading because of the discussion that can ensue afterwards.

Keep reading the book- just skim through that which gets bogged down from tangents. There are some beautifully written passages that evoke the wonder of nature and of conflict(man v. man, man v. nature, man v. self).

I look forward to reading more from Sherrida Woodley.… (mehr)
