5.0 out of 5 starsTaut and heartwrenching
By Tracy Barrett on October 23, 2013
Format: Paperback
You'd never know THIN SPACE is a debut novel. It's superbly written, with spare prose that describes characters in just a few strokes and delivers a fairly complicated plot with one big twist and several smaller ones clearly and effectively. There are paranormal elements, but it's really a story grounded in the universal human experiences of loss, identity, love, responsibility, and other themes that most people, like the book's main character, Marsh, first grapple with as teenagers.

Before the book starts, Marsh's twin, Austin, was killed in a car accident. Marsh's feelings of guilt seem to go even deeper than you would expect from the fact that Marsh was driving when the fatality occurred. He had done something "stupid" that somehow had a factor in Austin's death.

According to Celtic lore, a "thin space" is created when someone dies in the same place where s/he was born. Marsh is determined to locate such a space and find his brother. And do what? Explain? Right the wrong? We don't know, and it doesn't seem as if March does either. He's aided by new-girl-in-town Maddie, who has some secrets of her own.

When the twists and other secrets are revealed, readers get a D'oh! moment--"I should have seen this coming!" But you don't, even though they seem obvious once revealed because the groundwork has been so carefully and deftly laid.

The story doesn't wrap everything up in a neat bow, but the characters are left well on the road to healing.

Disclaimer: I know Jody Casella and have admired her writing for years. But I know a lot of authors and you won't see many five-star reviews from me here (trust me; I've read dozens more books than I've reviewed).

4.0 out of 5 starsWhat an Idea !!!
By quibecca on April 30, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I don't even know where to start with this one. I have to admit it kind of was slow at the beginning, but still interesting, so I kept with it. But, man oh man, I was NOT expecting what happen to happen. So it ended up being a great book. Although I am wondering if there is going to be more. There just has to be. It cannot end like it did. Okay, it CAN, (obviously), but I hope that there will be more.

Any how I digress....about this book :)

Marsh is obsessed with finding a "Thin Space" that his neighbor had told him about. A thin space is when a soul enters the world and leaves the world in the same place. It allows you to enter the "space" between here and the after life. Marsh's neighbor tells him she will open a "thin space" for him while she is laying on her death bed. It is an interesting concept.

Marsh, is one messed up dude. I don't blame him for one minute though. He is a twin and one night they were out, and got in an accident. His twin didn't make it. Marsh was devastated, and it sent him into a spiral of depression.

Then comes Maddie. She moved into the house of the neighbor who was suppose to open a so called "thin space" for him so he could visit his brother. Maddie turns out to be his lifesaver.

This book is so interesting. Could you imagine being able to travel between here and the after life? I don't know if I would. Marsh and Maddie are both damaged people and come to depend and trust each other. It is such a sweet friendship.

I cannot imagine what it would be like to feel responsible for your brother/sisters (any one for that matter) death. I think it would mess with my head also. There is a MAJOR plot twist and when I read it I was like "MIND. BLOWN.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsGreat character story, but wish there was more paranormal aspects
By Christine on September 11, 2013
Format: Paperback
Real Rating: 3.5 Stars

The summary for this book sounded super intriguing and sounded like it would be bursting with paranormal happenings and elements. Unfortunately, THIN SPACE didn't deliver this as much as I would have liked. There were some great aspects of the novel that I loved, but there were also some things that fell flat for me.

Marsh has lost his other half and is living through a fog the months after his brother was killed in a car accident that he was the driver of. He walks around barefoot and just goes through the motions, not truly knowing what is going on around. He is sad, depressed, and absolutely desperate to find this mythical thin space that his old neighbor told him about. He believes it's the only way to fix things and to see his brother again.

The whole first half of the novel was Marsh post falling apart. It's obvious that he's hit rock bottom. He doesn't talk to anyone, no one talks to him. This section of the book is basically just Marsh thinking to himself. You really don't get any interaction with others. While this is critical to showing Marsh's downfall, it did get a bit irritating. I liked Marsh's voice but I wanted to get to know other characters, hear a dialogue, something. I got kind of tired of just being inside his head.

When the girl next door, Maddie, moved in, the novel picked up quite significantly. She was a happy go lucky, shy girl who brought some new dynamics to the scene. She got Marsh to talk and open up. She had a history of her own that slowly was unveiled. She wasn't perfect but I really liked how she added to the novel and woke up Marsh, so to speak. She took everything weird that Marsh said or did with a grain of salt and joined him in his search for a thin space.Read more ›
