Title: The Between : Novel, A by Tananarive Due ISBN: 0-06-092726-7 Publisher: Perennial Pub. Date: 08 May, 1996 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $13.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.32 (38 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Fantastic
Comment: It is usually pretty easy to differentiate an author's first work from their subsequent works. I read Tananarive Due's My Soul To Keep first and finished The Between months later ... They were equally superb.
The Between is a suspenseful first novel which chronicles the confusing life (death?) of Hilton, a man who, at age 8, nearly drowned but was saved by his grandmother. As an adult he suffers from horrendous nightmares and soon becomes unable to distinguish them from his waking hours. Coupled with having to protect his family from a psychotic, racist, ex-convict who is after his prosecutor wife, Hilton and the reader are tossed into a world of dreams/reality, life/death, sanity/insanity ... death/life.
This was a chilling and thrilling tale. I am usually not one who automatically sees movie potential in a book but I think this one would be a tortuous theme for the silver screen.
I anxiously (and nervously) await another novel by Tananarive Due !

Summary: So refreshing!
Comment: I stumbled upon this book in a book store and have been hooked on Ms Due's work ever since. What I like about her writing is that it is NOT typical. Lately, it seems that majority of novels about blacks has the same theme:relationship drama. Ms due books are a breath of fresh air, well written and keep you on your toes. Unlike most sci-fi books I am able to follow the story line. I also enjoyed My Soul To Keep
