He has an easy flow and a wonderful skill in setting up the storyline and scenery. I connected with the many odd and lovable characters. I've read his previous work and his storytelling is getting better and better. I zipped through this story, anxious to find out the relationship and love story of two of the characters. You will likely race through the story because of the natural feel of the writing. It was well written, presented with clarity and leaves open for more great books by the author.<br /><br />What a wonderful day it is when I find out that Mark Len Mayfield has released another book.<br /><br />I thought the author did a fabulous job portraying the characters and absolutely fell in love with Ida Belle and Gertie. They literally stole the show. This book is a fast, fun and entertaining read.<br /><br />Mayfield’s characters are fascinating and believable, yet atypical enough to keep the reader on his/her toes.<br />I believe one of the strengths of Mayfield’s novel is his use of dialogue to develop his characters and to tell the story. He often uses descriptive passages to appeal to your mind’s eye, but it’s the interaction of the characters that makes them familiar to you and keeps the story moving at its entertaining pace. <br />
