4.0 out of 5 stars Intriguing Sci-Fi Story Captures Your Mind To The Last Word, December 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Evan's Voice (Paperback)

In Evan's Voice, you meet Jake, a teen without a mother, Evan, Jake's plague stricken younger brother, Mrs. Garvey, a neighbor and docter, Jacob Adam, a mysterious storyteller with a different kind of story, and Mellie, Jake's best friend whose father wants her to marry a 'gizmo' for money. They all live in a plague-decimated Earth in the 21st century. Aside from the everyday problems of a street teen, Jake has to take care of Evan as he gets steadily sicker, and defend Mellie from her father. When he finds the storyteller for a school project, he suddenly sees a glimmer of hope that could make Evan better. This story keeps you enthralled to the last, making you yearn for more at the end of the story.

4.0 out of 5 stars praise from an adult, November 22, 2000

M. A. Harper (New Orleans, LA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Evan's Voice (Paperback)

Ms. Lowenstein creates a world both odd and familiar, peopled with young characters we wish we knew; yet her work speaks to a larger, older readership as well---having fully as much crossover appeal as the "Harry Potter" books. With an economy of style, beautifully rendered illustrations, and a peculiar ability to imagine so far outside the usual sci-fi box that she almost seems to be from a distant planet herself, her "Evan" is a book that has no parallel anywhere. Lowenstein's work is stunningly original, beautiful, wonderfully wise and strange. I look forward to her next novel with great anticipation.
