Junction Chronicles
review 1: It took me about 7 chapters before I finally became interested in the book. The story's format jumps from one character's situation to the next. Until I learned more about the characters and how they relate to one another, I didn't feel the need to finish the book. I'm glad I stuck with the book, though. Although I can't personally relate to any of the characters, I found the characters to be interesting, once more of their backgrounds were revealed. The fast paced action was exhilirating and kept the story moving. I especially liked reading about familiar landmarks in Toronto, specifically the Junction. Overall, I really enjoyed the book and am looking forward to reading other books by David Rotenberg.
review 2: I recieved this book as part of Goodreads First
... moreReads Giveaways. I have not read a lot of books by Canadian authors, so as a Canadian I was excited to have recieved this book. It was refreshing to read about places that I've been and/or at least heard about, and the Canadian "humour" made me chuckle in spots. The plot is interesting, to say the least, and there is plenty of action and suspense. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series, and also will read some of Rotenberg's previous books! less

Enjoyed storyline. The Junction is a character. I grew up in the area and felt I was there.
