Bad Trip South (Audible Audio Edition) Billie Sue Mosiman Ben Maclaine Books Reviews
Loved reading from the child's point of view. Her clarity of thought and her self-described ability to read adult' s minds added interest to an already interesting tale. Short, intense, a bit heart breaking as the story unfolds. Recommended.
Billie Sue does it again. The book just reached out and took me in right from the start. Is very hard to put down once you start reading it. Very well written and put together. Just when I thought I figured out where the story was heading, it went in another direction. It was truly an excellent read. Have already told quite a few people to get this one and read. You will not be sorry with this story!! Awesome job Billie!!
A strange, I.e. not typical, crazed killers and hostage takers, with a bad cop thrown in for a twist. I still wonder who is more evil, the cop or the psychos? I do know the cop is less likable to me. The heroine, the little girl, is a little too much, but still believable. It's a good story, written well, and perhaps just too wordy at the end.
Billie Sue Mosiman has redeemed herself in my opinion. While I did not care for the last book I read by her "Wireman" due to the graphic killing of a little boy, I loved this book. I have recommended it to my friends. I am a student of psychology working toward my bachelor degree in applied psychology, So I am very interested in the psychological aspect of the story. I also believe in telepathy so I found that portion of her book intriguing. I loved that most of it was written from the point of view of a very adult thinking 10 year old while still maintaining a ten year old's innocence and wonder. Great book.
Mossiman wrote a well planned, frightening novel here. Without plot spoilers let me say that this is a hostage situation styled terror novel about a family and a Bonnie and Clyde style couple. The antagonists are well defined, realistic characters. If you have ever seen "Natural Born Killers" then you will have an idea of what the main antagonists are like. The family has it's own problems, and that's all I'm gonna say on that.
The only problem I had was that Mossiman seemed to have held back several times. Her antagonists seemed to have developed consciences several times regarding the child. Realistically the antagonists would have been uncaring if the child witnessed a rape; however, while the author kept the trauma to the child on a down-low, there is enough violence and a high enough body count to satisfy any horror/suspense junkie.
This story takes place on the road with a couple of thugs, a cop on the wrong path, his wife and their daughter. Excellent story, very well written, and very entertaining. Emily is 10 years old and has a gift that allows her to know what people are thinking with great clarity. While on a family vacation, she, along with her parents, are abducted by a Heddy and Crow, two low lifes running from the law and a drug cartel.
The story is told from two distinct points of view, one, through Emily and how she sees the world, and the other as it is unfolding. Although there are two POV's, the story is structuarally seamless making it clear who is speaking and what is happening at all times.
Do yourself a favour and read this story. No one weaves a tale better than Billie Sue Mosiman and no one knows how to do it with such finesse.
I totally enjoyed the ride I took with this book, much more so than those in the story did theirs! Mosiman pulled out all the stops here making this trip a solid E Ticket ride, as we used to say. I saw one earlier review who complained the "Ending was predictable and not surprising." Well, it is basically told to you early on. You'd have to be pretty dense to not see it when it's spelled out for you. I'd like to use another old quote, "Success is the journey, not the destination." So it is with this book. It's not where you are heading that thrills you, it's what happens along the way. Mosiman is a true Master Storyteller in league with the Best. Go ahead, get in the car, leave the driving to her; she has the trip all planned for you. If you are looking for gritty action and pedal to the metal pacing, you're going to enjoy your Trip.
