review 1: The Six Train to Wisconsin transports the reader into the world Kai and Oliver share in a unique way. Ms. Heintz has taken two locations with nothing in common except two characters and has made them feel completely opposite (which Manhattan and Butternut, Wisconsin should be) but somehow similar at the core. In Manhattan, the reader feels as cramped and confined as Kai does when her shield is down and the world tumbles into her mind. Butternut, conversely, is less cramped than Manhattan with less for Kai to hear but it is just as confined--this time by lack of people, loneliness, and lack of purpose. This unexpected juxtaposition of duality enriches the already wonderful story Ms. Heintz has created.Character development takes the stage in this novel, with extraordinary a... morettention to detail. From the ways dialogue is written (both the spoken and projected) to how each person deals with betrayal, loss, and forgiveness differently speaks to how we function as humans--each with a unique way of phrasing and coping. Ms. Heintz has taken many perspectives of the human experience and woven them into her characters with the skill of an artisan working a loom. The research put in to this novel to accurately portray those with abilities that are often seen as other-worldly (like telepathy, dreamwalking, etc) is tremendous as is the characterization of the geography. The dedication to get things write, even down to the geology of a location, is too often overlooked but in Six Train it is layered throughout the novel giving her words an extra level of fullness.Ms. Heintz has given readers a novel with soul. It unabashedly explores love, life, relationships, and the occult without dumbing them down for easy digestion or moving through them too quickly. She has created a story that one can easily relate to and hard to put down.
review 2: Unique romance with paranormal elements. Oliver and Kai are married. Kai can hear thoughts of those within a half mile radius of her. But her special powers are driving her towards suicide in crowded Manhattan. In order to save her, Oliver drugs her and takes her to his old home he abandoned and vowed to never return to because of a dark secret he longs to forget. This was very well written and captivating and shows the depths of true love and what two people will do and sacrifice for it. The characters are super believable and the problems they deal with were intriguing. less
