marcus1969 's review for:
Beyond Justice
by Cara C. Putman
I don't believe I have read anything by Cara Putman before that I know of. This book was a great book to start with. I have been hearing a lot of good about this book, and had a few of my book-loving friends assure me I would love it. They were correct.
This was a great read, and I mean great. The plot, the suspense, the drama, the characters...... they all meshed to make a great story that I didn't want to put down. Unfortunately, I was reading it on a few of my lunch breaks, so I had to put it down. Today, I was off and had the luxury of being able to finish it.
Though the boo is definitely suspense, it could also be classified as a legal thriller, which is a genre' I also like.
I am all for improving our immigration system, and have little sympathy for those crossing illegally. I could be wrong, but I felt the author was coming from a liberal viewpoint on immigration. Regardless, if the conditions described in this fictional novel do exist for juveniles caught illegally crossing into our country, we do need to work on that.
There were some surprises, which I like in a book. It isn't too enjoyable if you see everything coming, but you don't have that in Beyond Justice. Putman really took the suspense aspect to the nth degree, and she had me turning pages as fast as I could read to see what was going to happen next.
I liked the main characters a lot, and was hoping the slowly blossoming romance would happen.... it actually complemented the story very well.
I was quite happy with the ending of the book, and felt the few hours I read this novel were well spent. I highly recommend it.
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
