Every once in a while, I go into a bookstore looking for new authors to add to my collection. Most of the time, the paperbacks I buy end up in the resell pile - but this one won a permenant space on my bookshelf! Finished in less than a day, I was caught by the characters and had to finish it before I went to bed. Not that it doesn't have a few flaws, but I look forward to Ms. Fitch's next effort with anticipation! Way to go!

Upon hearing that Marina Fitch had published a novel, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it. As a child, I had met Marina during a visit to my aunt's house in California, and thought she was fascinating. When I finally recieved the book as a gift, I read it an just short of a day. The story was incredible, unique, and I found myself getting really involved with the characters. She took an interesting approach to personifying nature and all of it's aspects. This book rekindled my interest in the fantasy realm of literature, but above all, reading this book gave me a new-found respect for nature and the power that lies within. It's been a long time since a book has captured my attention like that. I look forward to reading her second book, and the many more that are sure to follow.

Marina Fitch really did a good job writing this book! I enjoyed not only the science fiction aspects, but also the personal aspects. It left you struck, and forced you to think of the Earth as more than just land to build on. Although I don't believe in "the anger of the Earth" it began to seem almost realistic. I'd recommend this book to anyone who enjoys science fiction/fantasy, and even those who don't. In fact, I'm not even a Sci-fi fan!
