3.75 AVERAGE


Hārperes lielākais talants noteikti ir atmosfēras radīšana - lasot brīžiem šķita, ka pati atrodos apmaldījusies dziļi džungļos, lietus un mitruma ieskauta. Izdzīvošanas skarbie apstākļi ir burtiski sataustāmi.

Izmeklēšana attīstās raiti, loģiski virzoties pretim Alises pazušanas apstākļiem. Ik pa brīdim priekšplānā izvirzās Falka bernības atmiņas un šī brīža attiecības ar kolēģiem.

Gribot negribot savā prātā salīdzināju “Dabas spēkus” ar sērijas pirmo grāmatu - “Sausums” šķita gan ar lielāku spriedzi, gan interesantāku atrisinājumu. Bet tiem, kam patīk ‘slow burneri’ un stāsti ‘cilvēks v. daba’, noteikti patiks arī šis.
mysterious medium-paced

this was okay--not as wonderful as the first in the series. i realize the author's not big on character-fleshing-out or little details of context. maybe this will come but so far there's not much reason to feel any fondness for the characters and the sense of "aussie"that was strong in the first book wasn't apparent to me at least. I'll try another though

This wasn't terrible, but I didn't enjoy the way it was told.

Good 2nd novel

Much like "The Dry" this was a well paced book with intriguing characters and interesting plot - definitely had to find out what happens.
