The author used words that opened the mind into creating the location of the story and its characters. Also, brought vividly alive were the conditions of the people and the surrounding areas. The author evolved the story from rebellion to romance. Very believable. Living the words in the book brought back many incidents transpiring across the United States during the time covered.

The romance brought into the novel was ever present and captivating. Very believable. I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

This book was a page turner and so difficult o put down when necessary. Jenny Wingfield did a marvelous job of "story telling" and kept my interest. The story was unusual. The payers in the story each had their own identity and purpose to the plot of the book. It was so easy to pick my favorite characters and stay with their intent in the plot. During some parts I found I held my breath and in other parts it was all "feel good" reading, I highly recommend this took to book clubs and personal reading.

Beth McMullen's book, Original Sin, brings a new fascinating character to the pages of page turning reading. This is a new type of female character, mother, successful career person to read about. I look forward to additional adventures with Sally Sin. A couple parts of the book moved slowly and made up for time in the adventures following. I recommend this book for book clubs.

A page turner with a lot of twists and turns. The story held my attention throughout. The main character known as the bricklayer "Steve Vail" is fascinating although at times not quite believable . This character is very dynamic in Boyd's first book entitled "The Bricklayer" as well as in "Agent X".

Boyd covers government involvement and the necessary complex government laws and the FBI's entanglement throughout to both interest the reader as well as create an awareness of some intricacies of solving problems in our nation.

I look forward to his next exciting book with Steve Vail.

Cynthia Keller, author of "An Amish Christmas", intrigues the reader as the story grows regarding the outcome of a family in a situation that is comparable to todays environment. This humanistic endeavor of story telling depicting a family of material privileges that discovers the basics of living is enjoyable.
