A review by heiditighe
Deathwatch by Robb White

4.0

White is clearly more at home dealing with the harshness of a murderous desert than with the byzantine dangers of the legal system. His description of the boy's struggle to survive in a killing wilderness is riveting, admirable, and breathtaking. His description of the boy's legal response to the attempt on his life is maddening. I believe the author was trying to show compassion and forgiveness on the boy's part, but it feels like the author surgically removed the character's spine and brain as well as the brains of those around him.
