The Odd Sea by Frederick Reiken

5.0

The Odd Sea is a book that I never would have heard of, let alone read, if it wasn't for the fact that I got it for free from a local college professor that was unloading hundreds of books in order to move across the country.
Written by a local author, The Odd Sea takes place in rural Western Massachusetts. It follows Philip, whose older brother Ethan disappears one summer morning. In a span of right around 200 pages, several years are covered, but this is not a fast paced story. It wanders and meanders down the country lanes of "Hilltowns". If you're looking for a thriller and shocking twist ending, this isn't the book for you. However, if you fancy beautifully written sentences, character development, and wonder- check this one out.
