Obsessed?,
By paul mason "dedarkone" (Barrie On) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Obsession (Paperback)
Wow, skimming reviews I noticed quite a few of my fellow(ess) reviewers seemed quite harsh towards this title. Now I am reviewing the novel, not other reviews, but felt it neccessary to say one thing. It looked like the biggest complaint was this title's lack of originality. Luis Jorges Borges believed everything has been written, and to an extent I agree. It is incrasingly hard for an author to imagine a completely original plot. Especially when the themes are like those dealt with in this novel, i.e. family, roots, betrayal, and the angst of being a teenager.Meg Mckenna leads a seemingly charmed life, attending a posh private school, soon to inherit her grandfather's legacy, and being popular. In fact the only minor things marring her almost perfect existance is a strenous relationship with her step-sister and father. Candra grew up with her "grandmother" in Jamaica, slaving away for a prosperous family, forever snubbed and impoverished. Until the family her grandmother is working for moves back Stateside, and Candra believes this country is the land of dreams come true where she can change her life. The price she is willing to pay to improve her lot seems infinite, including dabbling in black arts. This story seems pretty allegorical as I read along I realized that it stood at least in part for many archetypes(which I am not going to interpret in fear it will spoil the plot.) There were times I felt I was reading a melodramatic cliche, but Morgan's pacing and characterization overcame that minor flaw. I was especially impressed with Morgan's grasp of teenage cruelty, and the alienation that modern teenagers feel. I thought this was a quick fun read, I haven't read the Bujold title, but will. Even if this wasn't Totally oringinal I enjoyed it and hope you do too.

Outstanding,
By Lisa Edwards (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Obsession (Paperback)
I read this book over three years ago and could not put it down. It was mine boggling and it sent chills to my brain. I later went on a search for the continuation of this book, but was disappointed to hear that it was cancelled. I hope that whom ever makes decisions on the release of Posessions, help make the fans happy one more with the release of the book.
