The Soul Snatchers by Richard Sanford is a novel that’s apt to be a much-needed game changer. It’s a beautifully written science fiction thriller with characters that draw you in like a magnet and touch the heart. These characters inspire a desire to follow them on a gripping West Coast chase. In addition to the thought provoking writing and unusual story, the author makes the critically important and timely statement that the obsession, on the part of many, with social media threatens to erode the values of caring that have characterized our lives and relationships. He eloquently reminds us of what once was, and enables us to think seriously about getting back to that time when life was truly meaningful. ( ) The Soul Snatchers took me on a mysterious, heart-pounding journey through the San Juan Islands and the Pacific Northwest. The story and the characters were so engaging that I wanted to pick up and run with Tzaro and his gang in their desperate attempt to save Therica. The author highlights the dangers of living in a world where social media is damaging the way we relate to others. He makes us face the terrifying downsides of losing our ability to talk, to put a hand on someone's shoulder and say, "I care." The author's message to us: Let's take it back. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
