An absolutely amazing book! I came across this book at a discount book store and something about the cover intrigued me. I know you aren't supposed to judge a book by its cover, but letting a cover entice you to open the book and read the description on the inside cover isn't a bad thing......in fact, I think that's the point. From the description alone, I was intrigued even further. The premise, "Jude Allman has died three times", was enough to hook me. From the first word on the first page to the last word on the last page I remained hooked. After dying three times, can Jude finally learn how to live and save the lives of others in the process? From what I understand, this was a debut novel.....I assure you that you would never know it! T.L. Hines does an incredible job of developing these characters and telling their story. He writes with the imagery and flow of a seasoned author you would swear has been cranking out wonderful novels for years. "Waking Lazarus" is a masterful work that gives you characters to root for, enough twists and turns to keep you guessing, and a story that will stick with you for a long time. Bravo to Mr. Hines for this amazing achievement. If the rest of his works are half as good as "Waking Lazarus", he has definitely found a new fan!
