Book Review: Beckon by Tom Pawlik


Dark. Damp. Eerie. In an unmapped cave in the small, mysterious town of Beckon, Wyoming.  As an anthropologist whose dad ran off years ago, this cave is one of the only clues his father left behind. However, his father never meant for it to be uncovered.  Beneath the surface of the quaint town, Something sinister is going on. Literally beneath the surface. Three unconnected people must decide whether to leave, or stay and live forever. With giant, man-eating, devil crabs, glowing moss that fives long life and odd food cravings, This book is a certain winner.
I loved the character development. The author did a fantastic job providing the background for each character, as well as blending the characters stories in a perfect manner. The way the author wrote the book was incredibly interesting, and it had a superbly interesting plot. It kept you reading to the last page. I liked how it was written into three different sections, and how the sections mingled towards the end of the book. The only thing I disliked was how hard it was to understand at first, but towards the middle it was much clearer.
Overall, it is a fantastic sci-fi read for ages 16+
Tyndale publishers gave me this book in exchange for a free review.
