It's a hit of gritty magic that keeps you reading hard.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fear Principle (Paperback)
What I love about this book is the uncompromising nature of the main character, Jaguar Addams, who refuses to be less complex than she is. She's good, and she's not. She's in control of her life, and doesn't pretend not to be. Her morality is her own. And her motto: See who you are. Be what you see. In a futuristic prison system, Jaguar Addams works telepathically with criminals to make them face their fears. In this novel, she's assigned to Clare Rilasco, a hitwoman who took out a governor. When Jaguar and her cohort Alex Dzarny try to find out why she made the hit, the plot quickly thickens into a soup made of some of our worst nightmares. Jaguar's past, which includes surviving The Killing Times, becomes a part of the present fear of her own, which she must face and solve. As the author takes us through a world made of sharp edges, the reader is compelled to find out what will happen next, and might make the mistake of not pausing to savor some of the poetic use of language used to create a sense of the difference between "normal" space and "telepathic" space. I was distinctly impressed by the way this was accomplished, and found the language and ideas of the book as worthwhile as the fast-paced plot. I'm hoping the author has more in store for Jaguar. She's a character whose world I'd like to visit again.

The Fear Principle Review,
This review is from: The Fear Principle (Paperback)
This is B.A. Chepaitis's first novel and it is ultimately a sci-fi genre novel, so those who do not like fiction, beware. In simple words, the novel is about an Earth orbiting prison called Planetoid Three, a way to end prison overcrowding on Earth. The novel revolves around the character Jaguar Addams, a teacher working on Planetoid three. Their responsibilities are to reach into the minds of the deadliest inmates telepathically and make them face their true and greatest fears. Jaguar, one of the top teachers is challenged by a dangerous assassin in her understanding of fear.
The story sets in the far and dark future. I got a sense that the world has been stripped of its good and criminals await in every corner. You can't help but feel like the whole novel took place at night; it has an eerie, creepy, Gotham City feel. This is something that helps the mystery of the story. Furthermore, I felt in certain parts of the novel that this might be a possible future for us, which is frightening! Most of the characters in the novel seem to posses a dark secret, poor past or sinister plan that becomes visible in their attitudes toward other characters. These eventually hinder the compassion of the characters to become apparent. I believe this makes the relationships edgy, characters erratic, and progresses the plot. Overall, I thought that I chose the first and right novel to read from many of B.A.'s novels. I deem this novel wonderful if you want to get a taste of B.A.'s talents. In addition, I was glad I had the opportunity to meet her in person.

A good book to read if you don't wanna read for your other classes,
By
This review is from: The Fear Principle (Paperback)
The Fear Principle is a pretty good book to read if you are just tired of reading all the assignment given from your other classes. I recommened reading the novel and take your mind off that boring school related stuff. At first the novel seem a bit confusing but then later on it get to the exciting part and it uses language we can understand none of those Shakespeare's work where theres like a thousand meanings in one sentence. It straight on and forward. The reason this novel intrigues me because it more of our generation novel where the characters talk just like my friends and I sometimes so it keeps me interested throughout the novel I didn't fall asleep like when i read other novels I actually read the whole novel for a few hours straight without falling asleep like when i read any other books..The story is about this place Planetoid Three where apparently they send the most outcast criminals there hoping to reach their fears and confront the criminals fear making them into regular citizens of society.
However, there are some that fails and leave in a stray jacket into the crazy house. Our main Protaganist is a wild teacher Dr. Jaguar Addams who is in the Planetoid Three prison and she has her own way of getting to the criminals minds.However, she is about to face the most challenging subject of her career. The ultimate assassin. A dangerously disturbed woman who will teach Jaguar the true meaning of fear. Clare Rilasco remains the most feared and the most dangerous of all murderers. It is Jaguar's job to get inside her mind, learn what pushes her to kill. And who. The teacher is about to be the one who going to be teach by an criminal. Finally, I'm telling you if you haven't read any real good book lately you should try this novel and you will enjoy it like I did. If you just want a change of reading habit try The Fear Principle and then maybe you will enjoy some of her other great works such as The Fear of God,Learning Fear, and A Lunatic Fear. It all part of a series of four novels continuing Dr. Jaguar Addams adventures.
