VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition
I have to be honest and say this book isn't really what I was expecting. But actually, in some ways, it was better than I was expecting. It's fair to say it's a short work, shorter than a novella, but it's written in an intense manner which works really well.
The terrorist attack aspect of it is really more of a scenario than a plotline. What the story actually seems to be about (to me anyway) is the mental state of the protagonist, a woman married to a prominent civil servant who suffers from hyper tension and starts to struggle against the control her husband has over her. The real strength of it is in the way that this character's anxiety comes across in the structure of the story. The text is a bit choppy, deliberately so, with what are acknowledged as disembodied thoughts resulting from the stress and the medication of the 'narrator'. It's infectious - you feel the same anxiety building as you read it, and that I found really interesting.
I'll definitely be looking out for more work from James Everington in the future.

Incredible Description of the Mind
28 Dec 2010
By Jason M. Hiaeshutter
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
When this story was suggested to me, it was described as a story about terrorism. But what I found was that this was much more than a typical terrorist plot storyline. What the author did, and did extremely well, was take the reader into the mind of a woman traveling by train shortly after a terrorist attack. As you read this story, you get drawn into her fears, her anxiety; all the effects that the prior attack had on her psyche. The story is told with expert description and the reader actually feels pulled in to this woman's very thoughts and feelings.
Feed the Enemy is perfect for a quick read. It is easy to get through in one sitting, though when finished, I guarantee you will find yourself begging for more.

Feed The Enemy 3.5

A psychologically driven short story about a woman existing in a state of fugue. I see this as more of a showcase for the author's longer work. Well written with an interesting perspective.
