MY REVIEW
The Return of Cassandra Todd by Darrel Nelson has some interesting parts, but parts of it I didn’t care for.
It’s a story about a woman Cassandra who left her husband because he beat her. I believe she should have done that, but should have sought help from other people beside a man she went to school with. That would have been O.K. but they started to have feelings for each other. Since she just left her husband and is a Christian, she should haven’t had fell for another man so fast. I think being a Christian author he shouldn’t have put his characters in this situation. How will people who aren’t Christians see the difference between Christians and non Christians.
The parts I really, I mean really, really loved was the way Turner escaped capture so many times and the ways that he got away. I think that part of the story was the best and I could see many more ideas for stories coming from the escapes. I found those parts quite fascinating. If you do read this book I think the escape parts would be well worth it.
The story line was fine, but did drag in several parts. The ending was O.K., but not what I really liked.
