Someone Like Me

Place. Most great stories include an element that informs readers that there’s more here than meets the eye. In his novel titled, Someone Like Me, M.R. Carey sets up his story by introducing a cast of interesting and complex characters. Several of the characters are considered weird, and before long an otherworldly component enters and takes control. Several characters are linked by common experiences, and all are rooted in a place that ties them together and may be the locus for the events that drive the thrilling plot. Patient readers who can suspend disbelief will be rewarded with a well-told exciting and interesting story that reminded me of some of Stephen King’s novels. You may not see what others see, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase Someone Like Me from amazon.com.
