DRAGON FALL
Lee J. Hindle
Reviewed by Barbara Conquest
Volume 22 Number 3
This winner of the Flare Competition for young writers (13-18) fills all the requirements for a book likely to be popular with the nondiscriminating young teen, the one who thinks Flowers In The Attic and Carrie are the best books he/she has ever read. Horror, violence, and very obvious foreshadowing abound. On the plus side, this young author exhibits a good ear for current adolescent speech, a keen eye for detail, and a definite talent for transposing both into print. If the curtailment of self-indulgence that frequently comes with maturity materializes, future writing from this young author should be awaited with favourable anticipation. Barbara Conquest, D. S. MacKenzie J.H.S., Edmonton, Alta. |
