Hi! I’m Vic and I just finished
reading the book called Natchez Burning written by Greg Iles.
This book was a glimpse into the tragic past of
the Deep South that many Americas tried to hide and forget. Although fiction, this book opens the eye of
the reader to a tragic time in the south; through detailed writing,
in-depth characters and suspense on every page. The reader has no choice but to
continue this journey to the bitter end.
My favorite part of Natchez Burning was the way
the author took you through historical events of a small town in Mississippi.
The character that I liked best was Henry Sexton. Even though Henry isn’t the main character,
he brings life to the story through his determination and dedication to solve a
40-year-old crime.
I think the author wrote this book because he wanted to create a historical fiction story based on real-life events that occurred in our country during the late 1960's. He also wanted to write a suspenseful novel that would take the reader on a wild ride.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has a
passion for American historical events, craves suspense, and is willing to give
up their sleep, because this book is truly hard to put down once you crack the
cover.
Reading to me is both a social and solitary activity. I love spending time reading books on my own because it is relaxing, enjoyable, and satisfying. I also like the social aspect of my book club because it is rewarding to discuss books and stories with other avid readers.
